Cystic adrenal lymphangiomas are very rare, benign vascular lesions. They are usually found during a work up for abdominal pain or incidentally during imaging studies for an unrelated cause. We report two cases of cystic adrenal lymphangiomas. They presented with flank discomfort, hypertension and flushing. Their laboratory findings were in normal limits. Radiologic imagings showed adrenal cystic neoplasm and the patients underwent adrenelectomy. Histopathologic examination and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with lymphangioma. Cystic lymphangiomas may imitate other adrenal neoplasms and must be kept in mind in the clinical and radiologic differential diagnosis of cystic adrenal lesions.
肾上腺囊性淋巴管瘤非常罕见，是良性血管病变。它们通常在因腹痛进行检查时被发现，或在因无关原因进行影像学检查时偶然发现。我们报告两例肾上腺囊性淋巴管瘤病例。患者表现为侧腹不适、高血压和面部潮红。他们的实验室检查结果在正常范围内。放射影像学显示肾上腺囊性肿瘤，患者接受了肾上腺切除术。组织病理学检查和免疫组化结果与淋巴管瘤一致。囊性淋巴管瘤可能会模仿其他肾上腺肿瘤，在肾上腺囊性病变的临床和放射学鉴别诊断中必须予以考虑。
