Abstract

Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas (RL) are rare benign cystic tumors of the lymphatic system, which account for 1% of all lymphangiomas, and till now less than 200 cases have been reported. We are presenting a 35 years old woman, who was admitted with symptoms of recurrent left lumbar pain. The preliminary diagnosis from CT scan was retroperitoneal cyst. The patient went under explorative laparotomy and whole cyst mass was removed from the surrounding structures using sharp and blunt dissection.
