Why the study?
Retroperitoneal tumours are rare, diverse, and challenging to manage because they typically present late and near major vessels and vital organs.
This prospective study aims to describe the clinicopathological profiles of patients presenting with retroperitoneal tumours in Eastern India.
Adds Eastern India-specific data on retroperitoneal tumors; leaves open optimal management strategies.
Retroperitoneal tumours are rare but diverse group of neoplasms that arise from the retroperitoneum, and account for 10% of all soft tissue tumours. Managing retroperitoneal tumours is challenging because they typically present at a relatively late stage, and are anatomically proximate to major vessels and vital organs. This study was carried out to find out different clinicopathological profiles of patients who presented with retroperitoneal tumours in our hospital during the tenure of this study.
