We report an extremely rare case of a 69-year-old man having a retroperitoneal carcinoid tumor associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1. The patient whose son and daughter were previously diagnosed with MEN type 1 was admitted to the Department of Endocrinology at our hospital for evaluation of this disorder. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography revealed a parathyroid and retroperitoneal tumor (43 mm x 34 mm). The patient did not consent to surgical management of the tumor; however three years later, a follow-up CT revealed tumor enlargement (55 mm x 50 mm). We were unable to rule out a malignancy, and subsequently resected the tumor. A pathological diagnosis of retroperitoneal carcinoid was made. No local recurrence or metastasis have been observed for 21 months.

Primary renal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are extremely rare among renal malignancies. According to pathological manifestations, carcinoid can be divided into four types: typical carcinoid, atypical carcinoid, large cell and small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. Primary or secondary retroperitoneal carcinoid is even rarer than renal carcinoid.

Background: Retroperitoneal fibrosis, a condition of uncertain origin, is rarely linked to 8% of malignant cases, including breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, thyroid, and carcinoid. The mechanism leading to peritoneal fibrosis induced by tumors is not well understood, possibly encompassing direct infiltration of neoplastic cells or the initiation of inflammatory responses prompted by cytokines released by tumor cells. We report a case of breast cancer with renal metastasis and retroperitoneal fibrosis detected using F-FDG PET/CT, providing help for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Teratomas are rare germ cell tumors that can form from multiple germ layers and can be found in various body locations, including the kidneys.
- A case study describes a 49-year-old woman who had an asymptomatic teratoma discovered in her right renal hilum that was associated with a carcinoid tumor.
- The findings show that the tumor was separate from the kidney and urinary tract, offering insights into the unusual relationship between teratomas and carcinoid tumors.

Introduction And Importance: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs), rare mesenchymal tumors, occur in diverse locations. Retroperitoneal and pelvic SFTs are extremely uncommon, challenging to identify due to vague clinical and radiological features. We present a high-risk SFT case in the retropubic Retzius space.
