Retroperitoneal tumours develop in the space behind the abdominal cavity and can arise from various tissue types including fat, muscle, and nerve tissue. They often grow large before causing symptoms. An MRI may show a mass in the space behind the abdominal cavity consistent with a tumour. Finding a retroperitoneal tumour early may allow for surgical planning before it grows large enough to involve surrounding structures.
