Ectopic endometrial tissues are rarely
observed on the serosal surfaces of bowel and laparotomy incisions, in the lungs,
bones and in the urinary tract. Recto-sigmoid junction is the most common site
of extra-genital endometriosis,with less frequent sites being the rectovaginal
septum, small intestine, cecum and appendix. Endometriotic cyst in a retroperitoneal
location mimicking a retroperitoneal tumor through the mesentery of sigmoid
colon is an extremely
rare presentation. Only few cases of
retroperitoneal presentation of endometriotic cyst have been reported in the English
literature. Retroperitoneal endometriotic cyst may mimic a retroperitoneal
tumor in view of the location.
