Retro Peritoneal Tumor - Neurofibroma
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Retroperitoneal Tumors (RTs) are important group of neoplasms but very rarely occur. RTs develop insidiously and are generally seen as large masses. Most of the times 50% of retroperitoneal masses are larger than 20 cm at the time of diagnosis. Cross-sectional imaging has shown revolutionary changes in diagnosing the patients with retroperitoneal neoplasms. Both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can contribute to the diagnosis of the tumor, though histological confirmation by FNAC or Truecut biopsy is often required because of the considerable overlap of imaging features. This article aims to share our experience in management of a 40 years old male with complaints of painless swelling in the abdomen since three years with rapid increase in size and shortness of breath for past three months. Clinically there was a mass measuring approximately 14x10 cms in left hypochondrium extending upto left flank. CECT suggested tumor mass entrapping the left kidney and spleen. Surgery was done and the mass along with spleen and left kidney were excised.
