Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenomas (PRMCs) are observed more frequently in women with no specific symptoms. A 35 Years old female patient presented with Intermittent abdominal pain in her left flank associated with fullness in abdomen. CECT confirmed a well-defined smoothly marginated homogenous non-enhancing unilocular cystic lesion in retroperitoneum in left lumbar region, separated from the pancreas, left kidney and ovary. On Laprotomy, the retroperitoneal tumor was completely removed, without spillage of its contents.
