Introduction: Cystic lymphangioma are infrequent bening hamartomatous lesions of the vascular lynphatic system. The retroperitoneal type is approximately 1 of all lymphangiomas and they have a wide range of forms of clinical presentations.Presentation of the case: A 29 years old male patient complained of pain in the epigastric abdomen and right hypochondrium of three month avalation without a palpable mass. Imaginenological studies showed a retroperitoneal lesion in contact with but independent of the head of the pancreas. Surgical removal and biopsy of the lession revealed a retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma.
Discussion: Although the lesion was bening according to its pathological origin its size and anatomical localization can cause several complications such as intracystic infection, peritonitis as a result of perforation and hemorrage showing the importance of an early diagnosis and complete surgical removal.
Conclusions: Our patient dis not have major complications during surgery and has had a favorable asymtomatic outcome.
