Preoperative abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. a CT revealing a large unilocular cystic mass with three mural nodules (red arrow’s head) in the left retroperitoneal space on axial view. The boundary between the nodule and the wall was unclear in all three nodules. b CT demonstrating that the cystic mass was located close to the proximal side of the jejunum (yellow arrow) and the mass was separated from kidney and pancreas (yellow arrow’s head) on coronal view. c T1-weighted images revealing low signal intensity of the cystic wall, including mural nodules, and high signal intensity of the cyst component on axial view. In contrast to CT, mural nodules were clearly delineated at the rise. d T2-weighted images revealing high signal intensity of the cystic wall including mural nodules and low signal intensity of the cyst component on axial view
