Abstract
Lymphangiomas are usually benign lesions seen in the head and neck region in children. Intra-abdominal localisation is rare and the majority of these cases are in early childhood. Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas constitute approximately 1% of all lymphangiomas. They are generally diagnosed incidentally, may be asymptomatic or may present with a palpable abdominal mass. A limited number of cases of ovarian lymphangiomas have been reported in women, whereas there are no reported cases of paraovarian localisation. We present a rare case of lymphangioma located in bilateral paraovarian region and along the left ovarian vein with radiological findings.Entities:
