Two cases of retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma (CL) are presented; the current literature on this rare, benign neoplasm of the lymphatic system is reviewed. This tumor consists of various numbers of cyst-like cavities filled with a serous, serosanguineous or chylous fluid. The histogenesis of CL is still uncertain. Most commonly CL occurs in the neck and in the axillary region, whereas it is rare in the retroperitoneum. Although retroperitoneal CL is a benign lesion, it may cause significant morbidity due to its large size, and its often invasive character with a strong tendency to secondary infection. The treatment of choice is surgical excision.
本文报告2例腹膜后囊性淋巴管瘤（CL）；并对有关这种罕见的淋巴系统良性肿瘤的现有文献进行综述。该肿瘤由数量不等的充满浆液、血清血液或乳糜样液体的囊样腔隙组成。CL的组织发生仍不确定。CL最常见于颈部和腋窝区域，而在腹膜后罕见。虽然腹膜后CL是一种良性病变，但因其体积大，且常具有侵袭性并极易继发感染，可导致严重的发病情况。治疗的首选方法是手术切除。
