Retroperitoneal fibromatosis presenting as a presacral mass

Aggressive fibromatosis arising from the retroperitoneum is extremely rare. It may occur in association with previous trauma, abdominal surgery, drugs, Gardner's syndrome, or familial adenomatous polyposis. We report a case of retroperitoneal fibromatosis presenting as a presacral mass with an infiltrating nature, relatively intense enhancement on enhanced computed tomography scanning, and low-...

Pelvic retroperitoneal angioleiomyoma mimicking a uterine mass.

Angioleiomyoma (vascular myoma) is a rare type of leiomyoma originating from smooth muscle cells and containing thick-walled vessels. There are only a few cases of retroperitoneal angioleiomyoma reported in the literature.

We report herein on such an incidentaloma, which proved to be a benign retroperitoneal schwannoma. A 48-year-old female with an unclear adrenal mass underwent retroperitoneoscopic tumor extirpation. A well-defined tumor that displaced the adrenal gland and adhered firmly t...
