Retroperitoneal lipomas are rare tumors. The etiology of their proliferation is uncertain. Metabolic and genetic causes have been reported. We present the case of a 12-year-old patient with a large pelvic lipoma causing dysuria and pelvic pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the existence of a large retroperitoneal fat tumor. Ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy was performed to exclude malignancy. The biopsy specimen revealed tissue consistent with a benign lipoma tumor. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a solid lipoma of the retroperitoneal space 8 x 6 cm and weighing 300 g. The patient had a good postoperative performance status. Lipomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a solid tumor in the retroperitoneal space.

We report a rare case of adenomyoma localized only in the left fallopian tube mimicking tubal malignant tumor. A 45-year-old woman presented with mild pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and left adnexal mass. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a solid tumor, suspected primary cancer of the fallopian tube, and serum carbohydrate antigen 125 was elevated to 72 U/mL (normal; 0-35). At surgery, the tumor was revealed as a left fallopian tube tumor without torsion. Postoperative histopathology showed that the tumor included bundle-like growing non-atypical leiomyoma cells and ectopic normal endometrium accompanied with endometrial stroma and we diagnosed primary adenomyoma of the left fallopian tube. Adenomyoma localized only in the fallopian tube is a rare entity and it can occur only in the fallopian tube.
