Aim: To assess the Contrast Enhanced Multidetector Computed Tomography in Diagnosis of Retroperitoneal Lesions. Objectives: 1. To assess the spectrum and recognize the characteristic imaging features of solid and cystic retroperitoneal lesions using contrast enhanced computed Tomography. 2. To associate the contrast enhanced computed Tomographic diagnosis with histopathology / therapeutic response in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal lesions. Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study. The study included 25 patients clinically suspected case of retroperitoneal lesion and were subjected to Contrast Enhanced MDCT examination. Results: The most common affected age group was of 40-60 years (32%). The 77.7 % of primary retroperitoneal lesions were found malignant. The most common primary retroperitoneal lesion was lymphoma 66.6 % and second commonest liposarcoma 22.2%. Most of the lesion were found related to pancreas (22.86%). Conclusion: Contrast Enhanced Multidetector computed tomography is a useful modality in assessment of various imaging features and diagnosis of retroperitoneal lesions.
