Clinical case of non-organ retroperitoneal cyst detection and treatment

At the moment, when managing patients with non-organ retroperitoneal tumors, doctors are faced with the lack of a generally accepted classification, treatment tactics and diagnosis of this disease, which is due to the low number of cases in clinical practice.

Material and methods. Patient N., female, 56 years old, was admitted to the clinic with complaints of periodic pain of unclear genesis in the lumbar region, fatigue, headaches. The symptoms appeared in 2014, the patient was examined on an outpatient basis, an ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity was performed (no abnormality). With the increase in the clinical picture, she turned to the polyclinic at her place of residence again, an ultrasound examination was performed, the results of which revealed a cystic formation presumably in the retroperitoneal space.

Results and discussion. The patient underwent a comprehensive diagnosis using laboratory and instrumental research methods, surgical removal and histological examination of the cyst. The duration of observation of a persistent relapse-free period was 1.5 years.

Conclusion. A favorable result of treatment of non-organ retroperitoneal cysts can be achieved with a multidisciplinary comprehensive diagnostic approach in the process of evaluating clinical and instrumental data, which allows identifying and establishing indications for endovideosurgical treatment of the disease, which is the method of choice due to low traumatization.
