Abstrakt: A 38-year-old woman with a history of pelvic endometriosis was referred to our surgical department for the treatment of a cystic lesion most probably originating from the liver. At the laparotomy a solitary cyst was found in the retroperitoneum, connected to the inferior surface of the liver, and was resected. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed that it was an endometriotic cyst. The occurrence of endometriotic cyst in the upper abdomen is very rare: there are no published reports of an endometriotic cyst in that anatomic location. The literature on this subject is reviewed.
