Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is extremely rare. It may obstruct or invade surrounding vital organs, which may result in lethal effects to the host. Although surgical excision has been suggested as the first choice for treatment, complete extirpation is often impossible. Moreover, the rates of postoperative morbidity and disease recurrence remain high. We report a case of a huge retroperitoneal lymphangioma extending to the flank and scrotum that was successfully treated by intralesional OK-432 sclerotherapy without any serious complications.
腹膜后淋巴管瘤极为罕见。它可能阻塞或侵犯周围重要器官，这可能对宿主产生致命影响。尽管手术切除被建议作为首选治疗方法，但往往无法完全切除。此外，术后发病率和疾病复发率仍然很高。我们报告一例巨大的腹膜后淋巴管瘤，其延伸至侧腹和阴囊，通过瘤内注射OK-432硬化治疗成功治愈，且无任何严重并发症。
