Abstract

A 22-year-old female, previously healthy, without alcohol or smoking habits, was referred to our hospital after an emergency appendectomy in October 2019 at Centro Hospitalar da Cova da Beira (CHCB). During appendectomy, surgeons found a retroperitoneal mass. There was no previous knowledge of this retroperitoneal mass, and the patient had never had any abdominal symptoms before. Abdominal computed tomography was initially performed to better characterize the mass, followed by magnetic resonance. What is the most probable diagnosis?
