Peritoneal metastases of retroperitoneal tumors are in general rare. Peritoneal metastases can arise as synchronous peritoneal seeding of the primary tumor, e.g., colorectal carcinoma or pancreas carcinoma or as a tumor recurrence after surgery affecting the peritoneum, e.g., liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma. The mechanisms for the development of peritoneal metastases are not completely understood. Cell shedding from the primary tumor is thought to be responsible for these peritoneal deposits, which may occur spontaneously or as a result of spillage during surgical procedures.

Retroperitoneal tumors can be divided in primary retroperitoneal neoplasms and primary tumors of retroperitoneal organs.
