A case of primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma in a male patient is presented. The pathogenesis and computed tomographic imaging features of this rare lesion are briefly discussed. Although it is difficult to make an accurate preoperative diagnosis and to predict the malignant potential of this tumour, imaging is helpful to delineate the lesion and to provide useful information for preoperative assessment.
