Adrenal cystic lymphangiomas are extremely rare entities that are often identified incidentally, with less than 60 cases reported to date. We found a protruding ovoid mass consisting of a multiloculated cystic lesion within right adrenal gland in the cadaver of a 75-year-old Korean man. The epithelial cells lining the adrenal cyst were diffusely positive for cluster of differentiation 31 and podoplanin, and negative for pan-cytokeratin. The histopathological diagnosis confirmed a cystic lymphangioma arising from the adrenal gland. Post-mortem findings of the present case are discussed based on the clinicopathological features of adrenal cystic lymphangiomas.
肾上腺囊性淋巴管瘤极为罕见，常为偶然发现，迄今为止报道的病例不足60例。我们在一名75岁韩国男性尸体的右肾上腺中发现了一个突出的卵圆形肿块，由多房性囊性病变组成。肾上腺囊肿内衬的上皮细胞弥漫性表达分化簇31和足板蛋白，而细胞角蛋白阴性。组织病理学诊断证实为起源于肾上腺的囊性淋巴管瘤。本文根据肾上腺囊性淋巴管瘤的临床病理特征对该病例的尸检结果进行了讨论。
