Case Report: Resection for Primary Retroperitoneal Serous Adenocarcinoma and Liver Metastasis. Intern Med. 2018 Aug 10;: Authors: Nakatake R, Ishizaki M, Ishida M, Matsui K, Kawaguchi Y, Kaibori M Abstract Primary retroperitoneal serous adenocarcinoma (PRSA) is a rare malignancy of which only seven cases have been reported in the literature. The clinical features and outcomes of PRSA aren't well understood. We herein report a case of PRSA with liver metastasis in a 74-year-old woman who was treated with surgical excision. The tumor cells were positive for estrogen receptor, Wilms tumor 1, PAX8, p53, and cytokeratin AE1/AE3. The final diagnosis was PRSA and liver metastasis. The pathological features of PRSA resemble those of ovarian serous carcinoma, which suggests that a combination of surgical excision with adjuvant chemotherapy may be the best option.
