Abstract
Retroperitoneal cysts are unusual group of lesions, with diverse morphologies which range from a pancreatic pseudocyst to cystic teratoma. The wide range of etiologies makes histopathology of the excised cyst mandatory to ascertain the non-neoplastic or neoplastic nature of the lesion. Amongst the lesions, Mullerian cysts of retroperitoneum are very rare and known to arise from Mullerian rests which are sensitive to hormonal influence.
