Abstract
A case of retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma histologically confirmed in a 21-year-old woman is reported. Although ultrasound, CT and MR detected th e tumor, a preoperative diagnosis could not be established by imaging metho ds. The cystic tumor was removed and microscopic examination revealed a muc inous cystadenoma, Mullerian mesothelial metaplasia of peritoneal invaginat ion into the retroperitoneal space is the most likely explanation for the h istogenesis of these tumors.
