ABSTRACT
The lymphangioma of the scrotum and retroperitoneum is a rare benign tumor secondary to congenital abnormal development of the local lymphatic communications, and about thirty cases have been reported in the literature. The majority of the patients are observed in the third to fifth decades, but this neoplasm has been reported even in the newborn. The frequent site of the lymphangioma occurs in the neck and axilla. Other sites are uncommon and one of the least frequent site is the scrotum and retroperitoneum. Treatment is complete surgical excision, unless completely removed, recurrences are common. Here, we report a case of cystic lymphangioma of the scrotum and retroperitoneum of a 26-years-old man.
