Introduction: The retroperitoneum is the anatomical compartment positioned behind the peritoneal cavity. It is separated into three primary spaces: the anterior pararenal, perirenal, and posterior pararenal spaces. Retroperitoneal cystic mass is a rare surgical problem that is often wrongly identified before surgery.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 27-year-old female presenting with abdominal swelling and pain starting from 9 months. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed a right adnexal mass with a high probability of a serous ovarian. The patient was diagnosed with ovarian tumors before surgery, but it was identified with a retroperitoneal cyst during surgery.
Discussion: A retroperitoneal cyst's clinical signs and symptoms vary, and the diagnosis can often be challenging. Computed tomography scans are appropriate for assessing retroperitoneal pathology because they produce separate sectional images and couldn't find the correct diagnosis in previous cases.
Conclusion: This paper shows the rare case of primary retroperitoneal lesions, which can be hard to diagnose before surgery, even though medical imaging has come a long way.

Objectives: The Scrotal and Penile Imaging Working Group (SPIWG) of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) aimed to formulate recommendations on the imaging modalities and minimal technical requirements for abdominopelvic imaging in the follow-up of adult patients treated for testicular germ-cell tumors (TGCT).
Methods: The SPIWG members performed an extensive literature search, reviewed the current clinical practice, and reached a consensus based on the opinions of experts in the field.
Results: Recurrence in patients treated for TGCT mainly occurs in retroperitoneal lymph nodes (LNs).
Impact of Obesity on Short-Term Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Retroperitoneal Laparoscopic/Retroperitoneoscopic Adrenalectomy for Benign or Malignant Adrenal Diseases: A Meta-Analysis.

: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA) is one of two laparoscopic procedures used to treat benign and malignant adrenal diseases. Obesity in patients undergoing minimally invasive adrenal surgery is a frequently discussed topic. Our meta-analysis aimed to provide updated evidence by comparing intraoperative and perioperative outcomes on non-obese (NOb) and obese (Ob) patients who underwent RLA due to benign or malignant disease.

Background: Low-grade mucinous neoplasms typically originate from the appendix and are characterized by a lining of low-grade mucus-secreting columnar epithelial cells and smooth muscle. However, atypical origins can occur, as demonstrated in this case report.
Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 33-year-old male who, upon physical examination, was found to have an abdominal mass.

Background: An association between testicular cancer and Down syndrome has been reported by several studies. Down syndrome with cryptorchidism and retroperitoneal mixed germ cell tumours is rare, and yolk sac tumours are often considered secondary components of mixed germ cell tumours. Herein, we present a rare case of retroperitoneal mixed germ cell tumour with cryptorchidism accompanied by yolk sac tumour and seminoma in a patient with Down syndrome, along with its imaging features.

Background: Liposarcomas are mesenchymal malignant tumors characterized by varying degrees of adipocytic differentiation that comprises approximately 20% of soft tissue sarcomas. Despite advancements in this field, there remains a need for a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of liposarcomas. Currently, there is a lack of bibliometric surveys on the development trajectory of liposarcomas treatment, research hotspots, and author and team collaboration.
