Abstract |
A 41-year-old Japanese woman was admitted to our hospital for right abdominal mass. Various examinations revealed a retroperitoneal lymphangioma. Tumor resection was performed and pathological diagnosis was a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. It seems that screening with the tumor markers will be helpful for the diagnosis, because it is very difficult to diagnose a retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma before the operation.
