Background: Retroperitoneal cystadenocarcinomas are rare lesions, the majority of cases presented as one-patient reports.
Methods: We present two cases of retroperitoneal cystadenocarcinoma, both in women of reproductive age: one with aggressive behavior, and the remaining case, with a more indolent clinical evolution.
Results: One case presented as pelvic tumor, was treated with surgical resection of the disease, but manifested with recurrent disease a few months later despite use of chemotherapy. The second case involved a patient with diagnosis of abdominal tumor; during laparotomy, a retroperitoneal tumor was found and was totally removed. At follow-up, the patient is disease-free with no other treatment.
Conclusion: The behavior and treatment of retroperitoneal cystadenocarcinoma are controversial. We suggest aggressive surgery including radical hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoopherectomy with adjuvant chemotherapy in these cases.

Article Synopsis
- Appendiceal cancers, particularly mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, are rare and can cause serious complications like pseudomyxoma peritonei, leading to abdominal fluid accumulation called "jelly belly."
- A case of a young man with a persistent psoas abscess revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma with pseudomyxoma retroperitonei, emphasizing the need to consider malignancy in atypical abscesses.
- Early and accurate diagnosis is critical because these types of tumors can be misdiagnosed as common issues like abscesses, highlighting the importance of imaging and colonoscopy in identifying them.

Article Synopsis
- Primary mucinous adenocarcinomas of the kidney are rare and their origins are unclear, with theories including chronic irritation and kidney maldevelopment.
- Two cases are presented: one involving a 50-year-old male with a duplex collecting system who had invasive mucinous carcinoma, and another case with a 53-year-old male who had a horseshoe kidney and recurrent mucinous adenocarcinoma after previous surgery.
- Both cases highlight the association between mucinous adenocarcinomas and kidney anomalies, emphasizing the importance of histopathology for diagnosis.

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinomas (PRMCs) are extremely rare tumors with limited understanding of their pathogenesis and biological behavior. We describe a case of a 50-year-old female patient who underwent surgical treatment. The patient had a history of previous surgeries for mesenteric mucinous cystadenoma, without evidence of recurrence.
