Abstract
|
|
|
Cystic lymphangioma is a very rare condition of unknown etiology. It is generally regarded as a developmental malformation in which obstruction or agenesis of lymphatic tissue results in lymphangi-ectasis secondary to lack of normal communication
of the
lymphatic system.
Most lymphagiomas occur in the neck (75%) and axillary region(20%). Lymphangiomas may rarely occur in the retroperitoneum, mediastinum and mesentery.
We report a case of 42-year-old woman with histologically proven cystic lymphangioma in retroperitoneum.
