Abstract
ABSTRACT
Retroperitoneal mullerian cysts are rare, benign neoplastic cyst of urogenital
subtype. They are usually asymptomatic and may present with symptoms if they
grow considerably in size with pressure over the adjacent organ or follow infection,
hemorrhage or rupture. Histologically, these cyst are lined with benign ciliated
columnar epithelium. We present the case of a 30-year-old female with history of
abdominal distension and epigastric pain. The mass excised was in retroperitoneal
space and microscopic examination revealed benign cyst of mullerian origin.
