Objective: To report the case of a pregnant patient diagnosed with a primary retroperitoneal tumor and to conduct a review of the literature pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment and maternal-fetal prognosis of this disease condition during pregnancy. Materials and methods: A 19-year-old patient who presented with a retroperitoneal tumor identified on ultrasound. The results of the percutaneous biopsy showed a benign tumor. A healthy neonate was delivered by cesarean section. Surgical resection was performed four months later, and histopathology showed a mature cystic teratoma. A search was conduced in the Medline via PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO and ScienceDirect databases using the terms “pregnancy,” “neoplasms,” and “retroperitoneal neoplasms,” including case reports and case series of retroperitoneal tumors during pregnancy. Diagnosis, treatment and maternal-fetal prognosis were identified. Results: Overall, 1658 titles were identified. Of these, 34 case reports and 1 case series met the inclusion criteria. Of the cases, 62.9% were benign. Diagnosis was made as an incidental finding in 63% of cases, and 77% of the masses were identified on ultrasound. Percutaneous biopsy was used in 8% of cases, including the case reported here. Surgical treatment was used in 88 % of cases usually after delivery. Maternal mortality occurred in 8.5% of cases. Fetal prognosis was good in 65% of the pregnancies. Conclusion: Despite being frequently benign, retroperitoneal tumors during gestation have a reserved maternal and fetal prognosis in a substantial number of cases. There is a need to assess the risks and benefits of percutaneous biopsy.
