A 45-year-old woman presented with right hip pain for a month. Imaging results revealed that the left peritoneal mass was accompanied by metastases of the right sciatic branch, lung, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. A biopsy of the left peritoneal mass was performed. The pathological morphology demonstrated clear cell adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining revealed a positive expression of keratin7 and PAX8 and a negative expression of keratin20, GCDFP-15, ER, PR, WT1, CDX2, villin, TTF-1, napsin-A, vimentin, calretinin, and GATA3. Finally, the diagnosis of primary retroperitoneal müllerian adenocarcinoma (PRMA) was confirmed. PRMA is a very rare type of primary retroperitoneal tumor. PRMA should be considered for the retroperitoneal mass.

The hyaline-vascular variant of Castleman disease (HVCD) is relatively uncommon and demonstrates no specific clinical or laboratory findings; therefore, its preoperative diagnosis warrants a radiological evaluation. This study aimed to review imaging findings of HVCD, focusing on perilesional fat stranding and fatty proliferation. Patients with a pathologically confirmed HVCD diagnosis who had undergone CT were recruited from five hospitals from January 2000 to March 2023.

Background: Metastatic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (LND) for nodal recurrence is applied for a variety of cancers, such as urological, gynaecological and rectal cancer. Precise localisation and resection of these lymph nodes (LNs) during surgery can be challenging, especially after previous radiotherapy or surgery. The objective of this study was to assess the added value of surgical navigation for targeted LND in the retroperitoneum.

Objective: During the treatment of ovarian cancer, the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) post operatively is well established, however, patients may be at even greater risk during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). This study aimed to determine the incidence and timing of VTE amongst patients undergoing NACT, whether there was an association with survival, and examine risk factors associated with the development of VTE.

Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy betweenApril 2011 and April 2022 at a gynaecological cancer centre in England.

With improved surgical outcomes for non-ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the primary objective has shifted toward the detection of asymptomatic AAA. Since ultrasonographic visualization from the anterior abdominal wall is often obstructed by intestinal gas, utilizing additional bilateral posterior approaches via the retroperitoneal tissue may be beneficial. This study investigates the feasibility of assessment using three approaches through computed tomography (CT) data analyses.
