Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas are rare cystic tumors. This case report details a successful surgical resection of a benign retroperitoneal cavernous lymphangioma in a woman, with no recurrence observed.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lymphangiomas are uncommon cystic neoplasms, with retroperitoneal lymphangiomas comprising about 1% of all cases.
  • These tumors can be misdiagnosed as other cystic masses in the retroperitoneum, originating from organs like the liver, kidney, or pancreas.

Observation:

  • A 41-year-old woman presented with nonspecific abdominal pain and nausea.
  • Radiological imaging revealed a large, multiloculated, thin-walled cystic mass in the upper retroperitoneum.

Findings:

  • Complete surgical resection of the retroperitoneal cyst was performed.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a benign cavernous lymphangioma.

Implications:
