Retroperitoneal and intraabdominal cystic lesions are rare entities, and pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. All those lesions should be managed case by case, based on previous medical history, diagnostic imaging features and eventually percutaneous cytological analysis. In case of uncertain preoperative diagnosis, malignancy should always be ruled out with surgical removal or biopsy.
