Huge cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland. A case report and review of the literature.

Cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland is a rare and benign lesion, most often found incidentally during abdominal imaging studies, abdominal surgery or at autopsy. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. Diagnosis is histological. We report a 22-year-old female presented with abdominal pain. Laboratory findings were normal. Radiological examination revealed a 35 cm left adrenal cyst. The cyst was resected and the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland was histologically made. In presenting this case and reviewing the literature, we seek to make better known the epidemiologic, the clinicopathologic presentation and the prognosis of this rare entity.
