Description of a clinical case of extraorgan retroperitoneal cyst

Introduction. The clinical case discussed in this article highlights the challenge of managing extra organ retroperitoneal cysts. Extraorgan retroperitoneal formations are considered a rare pathology, often being incidental findings during examinations or surgical interventions.
The aim of this work is to describe a clinical case of surgical treatment of a retroperitoneal cyst with a long history.
Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the medical history of a patient with extraorgan retroperitoneal cyst was carried out. She was treated in the surgical department No. 2 of the Republican Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan in May 2024.
Results and their discussion. Patient Z., 64 years old, consulted a surgeon in May 2024 complaining of dull pain in the right iliac region. The anamnesis includes observation of a retroperitoneal cyst for about 15 years. Puncture sanitation in 2009 and 2013 in the surgical department No. 2 of the Republican Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan. Due to the large size of the neoplasm, a decision was made to perform a midline laparotomy.
Conclusion. A long history of disease, recurrence after puncture sanitation and the presence of pain syndrome became decisive in the choice of surgical removal of the cyst in this case.
