The histological tumor size was 10.12\u2009\u00b1\u20094.56\u00a0cm for average. Retroperitoneum GN was relatively low density on unenhanced CT images and showed delayed progressive enhancement on enhanced CT and MR images. The whorled sign could be seen in 14 patients. The vessel encasement sign could be found in 17 patients. Univariate analysis revealed maximal tumor size measured on axial image, maximal tumor size measured on coronal image, encasing one or both renal pedicles, encasing the aorta and\/or vena cava and whorled sign on MRI showed significant difference between the blood loss\u2009\u2265\u2009400\u00a0ml and blood loss\u2009&lt;\u2009400\u00a0ml group.
