Cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors. Most are diagnosed in childhood and their presentation in adults is rare. Retroperitoneal cystic lymphangiomas constitute only 1% of lymphangiomas. Unfortunately the differentiation between cystic lymphangiomas and other cystic tumors is often not possible and surgery with histology is essential for confirmation of diagnosis. A 20-year-old lady with retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma presented with acute abdomen. In the diagnosis of this patient, abdominal Ultrasound, CT and MRI scans were obtained.
囊性淋巴管瘤是罕见的良性肿瘤。大多数在儿童期被诊断出来，在成人中很少见。腹膜后囊性淋巴管瘤仅占淋巴管瘤的1%。不幸的是，囊性淋巴管瘤与其他囊性肿瘤之间往往无法区分，手术并进行组织学检查对于确诊至关重要。一名患有腹膜后囊性淋巴管瘤的20岁女性出现急腹症。在对该患者的诊断过程中，进行了腹部超声、CT和MRI扫描。
