Intraneural pseudocyst (so-called ganglion) in an unusual retroperitoneal periadnexal location?
A case of an unusual unilocular cystic lesion of diameter 7 cm located retroperitoneally in the pelvis in close
connection to the right adnexa of a 61 year-old woman is presented. Macroscopically, the lesion had a smooth
outer and inner surface and was filled with translucent fluid. Histological examination revealed a fibrous and
hyalinized wall which lacked a specific lining. Numerous nerve bundles in the cyst wall constituted the most
conspicuous element of its histology possibly with some contribution of perineurial and/or mesothelial components.
The morphology and immunohistochemistry speak for an intraneural pseudocyst sometimes called intraneural
ganglion cyst which is rare in this location
