Cystic Lymphangioma of the Adrenal Gland: Report of a Case / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Cystic lymphangiomas are uncommon benign tumor due to the lack of adequate drainage from the sequestrated lymphatic vessels to the venous system because of insufficiency or atresia of the efferent channels. They occur mostly in children and predilection sites are the neck and axilla. Treatment is complete surgical excision. Unless completely removed, recurrences are common. We report a case of cystic lymphangioma of adrenal gland in a 45-year-old woman with right flank pain. Adrenalectomy was performed and the mass consisted of three well demarcated cysts.
