Abstract

Cholesterol granulomas are common in the mastoid region, but have rarely been reported in other areas. The authors report the case of a 53-year-old female who had a cholesterol granuloma of the retroperitoneum. The disease was confirmed by surgical pathologic examination of the tissue submitted. We report on that case and give a brief review of the literature.
