Int Cancer Conf J. 2017 Apr 24;6(4):154-157. doi: 10.1007/s13691-017-0296-8. eCollection 2017 Oct.

Abstract

Primary retroperitoneal serous adenocarcinoma (PRSA) is an extremely rare malignancy, with only seven cases having been previously reported. We report a case of PRSA in a 42-year-old woman treated with surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. The histopathological findings of PRSA resemble those of ovarian serous carcinoma, which indicates that a combination of complete surgical resection with adjuvant chemotherapy may be the best treatment option for PRSA.

Keywords: Retroperitoneal tumor; Serous adenocarcinoma.
