Article Abstract
Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystic tumors (PRMCT) are divided into 3 groups: benign, borderline malignancy, and malignant. We report a rare case of benign retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma of a 59-year-old Caucasian female who presented to our clinic with moderate intermittent left upper quadrant abdominal pain for several months, accompanied by early satiety, and unintentional weight loss of 10 pounds. An abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan indicated the presence of a 6.5 × 8.8 cm multilobulated mass in the left upper quadrant, characterized by a homogenous appearance with smooth margins. Upper endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspiration were performed. Cytology and histology results yielded rare inflammatory cells and debris with no cytological evidence of malignancy. The case was discussed at the hepatopancreatobiliary conference; the patient underwent a robotic resection of the mass with a gastric rim. Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenomas are commonly managed by complete surgical excision. Robotic excision presents an alternative approach for handling this uncommon neoplastic lesion.

It is unknown how human health is affected by the current increased consumption of ultra-processed plant-based meat analogues (PBMA). In the present study, rats were fed an experimental diet based on pork or a commercial PBMA, matched for protein, fat, and carbohydrate content for three weeks. Rats on the PBMA diet exhibited metabolic changes indicative of lower protein digestibility and/or dietary amino acid imbalance, alongside increased mesenteric (+38%) and retroperitoneal (+20%) fat depositions despite lower food and energy intake.

Introduction And Significance: Retroperitoneal mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy, typically presenting with nonspecific symptoms leading to delay in diagnosis and treatment.
Case Presentation: A 53-year-old man patient was seen with debilitating pain in the right thigh and reduced mobility, following 1 year of recurrent psoas abscesses. The physical exam revealed a mass in the right flank and a positive psoas sign.

Introduction And Importance: Mucinous cystic pancreatic neoplasms (MCPNs) are cystic lesions often seen in the body and tail of the pancreas.
Case Presentation: In the case reported here, we presented a 39-year-old woman with complaints of upper abdominal pain. It presents with a variety of signs and symptoms, the most common being upper abdominal pain, early satiety, and dyspnea.
Orbital mucinous tumor and systemic multiple mucinous tumors: Radiological analysis, differential diagnosis, and case report.

Rationale: Orbital mucinous tumors are exceptionally rare, with multifocal systemic involvement posing significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This study aims to characterize the radiological and pathological features of such cases, refine differential diagnosis criteria, and evaluate treatment strategies through a comprehensive analysis of a rare bilateral orbital mucinous tumor with synchronous pulmonary and retroperitoneal lesions. Our findings aim to bridge gaps in understanding this rare disease's behavior and management.

Background: The uncinate process (UP) represents one of the greatest challenges in laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) due to its deep anatomic location and proximity to major vascular structures. Ensuring complete resection of the UP and mesopancreas is crucial for achieving negative surgical margins and adequate lymphadenectomy with tumors of this region. The standard approach from the right-side of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) often requires significant tension on mesenteric vessels, increasing the risk of vascular injury.
