Q fever is an infection caused by<jats:italic> Coxiella burnetii<\/jats:italic>, an intracellular organism. Acute infection is most often a benign and asymptomatic process; however, some individuals may go on to develop subacute and persistent localized symptomatic Q fever. As such, the clinical and histopathologic findings of Q fever are widely variable and may be missed if clinical suspicion is not high.<jats:italic> Case Presentation<\/jats:italic>. Herein we report the first case of<jats:italic> C. burnetii<\/jats:italic> infection presenting as an isolated retroperitoneal mass. A 61-year-old male underwent axillary-bifemoral bypass surgery. His postoperative course was complicated by the discovery of a large retroperitoneal mass.<jats:italic> Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Clinical and histopathologic findings of<jats:italic> Coxiella burnetii<\/jats:italic> infection are variable and can be deceiving. These are often nonspecific, especially in its persistent localized infectious stages.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/4076159","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,15]],"date-time":"2017-11-15T18:31:33Z","timestamp":1510770693000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Q Fever Presented as a Large Retroperitoneal Pseudotumoral Mass"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"given":"Behdokht","family":"Nowroozizadeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pathology, UC Irvine Medical Center, UC Irvine School of Medicine, Orange, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Negar","family":"Haghighi Mehmandari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pathology, UC Irvine Medical Center, UC Irvine School of Medicine, Orange, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Gallegos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pathology, UC Irvine Medical Center, UC Irvine School of Medicine, Orange, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mari","family":"Perez-Rosendahl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pathology, UCLA Medical Center, 10833 Le Conte Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5052-9303","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Di","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pathology, UC Irvine Medical Center, UC Irvine School of Medicine, Orange, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4132\/KoreanJPathol.2012.46.1.10"},{"journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Microbiology","first-page":"1823","year":"1998","key":"2"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2011.04.013"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/323031"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198301133080207"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.92.4.756"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2005.03.022"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2006.09.016"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2334-5-109"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.idcr.2014.07.004"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Pathology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripa\/2017\/4076159.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripa\/2017\/4076159.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripa\/2017\/4076159.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,15]],"date-time":"2017-11-15T18:31:43Z","timestamp":1510770703000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripa\/2017\/4076159\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017]]},"references-count":10,"alternative-id":["4076159","4076159"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2017\/4076159","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6781","2090-679X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-6781"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-679X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017]]}}}
