Abstract

A 22 year old pregnant woman presented with acute urinary retention at 8 weeks of gestation. Although initial clinical examination and ultrasonogram abdomen pelvis were suggestive of cervical fibroid, MRI abdomen pelvis raised the doubt of possible retroperitoneal mass. As the symptoms worsened with mass increasing in size and patient developing bleeding per vagina, digital evacuation was done under general anaesthesia and trucut biopsy of mass was done which revealed the malignant lesion- fibrosarcoma. So we report this case of retroperitoneal mass with unusual presentation of acute urinary retention in first trimester of pregnancy.
