Primary Malignant Tumor of the Retrovesical Region in Infancy

Yang, Keu Young

Abstract

Primary malignant tumors in the retrovesical region are extremely rare and are scarcely any in childhood. In the vast majority of the reported cases designated as primary malignant tumors of the seminal vesicles, Lazarus agreed with Young in view of the point that, in general, sarcomas should be regarded as primary malignant tumors of the retrovesical region involving the vesicles rather than as primary intrinsic of the vesicles, since in most cases it is impossible clinically, autoptically, or histologically to determine the exact point of origin, for these cases are usually advanced at first sight, with involvement of the vesicles, prostate and surrounding tissues. And they regarded it to start in the retrovesical connective tissue above the prostate and between the seminal vesicles Mesonephroma was reported in several articles concerning of a certain type in ovarian lesion by Schiller that he believed it originated from the remnants of mesonephric duct Later Saphir reported a few cases of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the ovary which he believed to be identical to renal tumors. This report is based upon such cases of a large liposarcoma(7 X 6 X 6 cm) in a 6-month-old male and mesonephroma in a 1-year-old female arising from retrovesical region.
