We herein report a rare case of primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (PRMC) in a 60-year-old man. The patient, who had been treated with infliximab for Crohn's disease of the colon for 13 years, was referred to our hospital for lower back pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple cystic lesions in the right retroperitoneum, the calcification of the cyst, and bone lesions. Bone and CT-assisted biopsies of the retroperitoneal lesions revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient was diagnosed with PRMC with bone metastases using immunohistochemical staining and positron emission tomography/CT.
