Lymphangiomas are benign malformations of the vessels. They are commonly located in the neck, axillary region and mediastinum. Lymphangioma of the adrenal gland is very rare. These lesions were first discovered as incidental autopsy findings. As the imaging techniques have improved, they now appear as incidental findings at abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography scan examinations. They are usually asymptomatic. We present a 26-year-old woman admitted to the hospital, complaining of weakness, putting on weight, and lumbago. Her laboratory findings were within normal limits. Radiological examination revealed a 7 cm cystic lesion located in the right adrenal gland. Right adrenalectomy was performed. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical analysis of the cystic lesion was consistent with a lymphangioma.
淋巴管瘤是血管的良性畸形。它们通常位于颈部、腋窝区域和纵隔。肾上腺淋巴管瘤非常罕见。这些病变最初是在尸检时偶然发现的。随着成像技术的改进，它们现在在腹部超声和计算机断层扫描检查中作为偶然发现出现。它们通常无症状。我们报告一名26岁女性入院，主诉乏力、体重增加和腰痛。她的实验室检查结果在正常范围内。放射学检查发现右肾上腺有一个7厘米的囊性病变。进行了右肾上腺切除术。对该囊性病变的组织病理学检查和免疫组化分析与淋巴管瘤一致。
