Popis:	A case of retroperitoneal xanthogranuloma is reported. A 41-year-old woman underwent total hysterectomy by the trans-vaginal approach for uterine myoma. She was readmitted because of a high fever. CT scan revealed an abdominal abscess, and trans-vaginal Douglas' drainage was performed. Repeated CT scans showed a solid tumor in the retroperitoneal space connected to a cystic mass in the left lower abdominal cavity. Total resection of both tumors was performed. Histopathologically, the solid tumor, measuring 23×13×6cm in diameter, was diagnosed as a xanthogranuloma, and the cystic mass, 10cm in diameter, as a simple cyst. The patient is alive two years after the operation without any sign of recurrence.
