Cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland is a rare and benign lesion, most often found incidentally during abdominal imaging studies, abdominal surgery or at autopsy. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. Diagnosis is histological. We report a 22-year-old female presented with abdominal pain. Laboratory findings were normal. Radiological examination revealed a 35 cm left adrenal cyst. The cyst was resected and the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland was histologically made. In presenting this case and reviewing the literature, we seek to make better known the epidemiologic, the clinicopathologic presentation and the prognosis of this rare entity.
肾上腺囊性淋巴管瘤是一种罕见的良性病变，最常于腹部影像学检查、腹部手术或尸检时偶然发现。术前诊断困难。诊断依靠组织学检查。我们报告一例22岁女性，因腹痛就诊。实验室检查结果正常。影像学检查发现左肾上腺有一个35厘米的囊肿。囊肿被切除，经组织学检查确诊为肾上腺囊性淋巴管瘤。通过展示该病例并回顾文献，我们旨在让人们更好地了解这种罕见疾病的流行病学、临床病理表现及预后。
