“…The retroperitoneal region is a rare localization of cystic lymphangiomas, however, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions (Tables I-III) (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33). The recommended treatment for retroperitoneal cystic masses is complete surgical excision, as a partial resection is associated with increased rates of recurrence.…”

Abstract. Cystic lymphangioma is a type of benign tumor originating from the lymph vessels. The tumor commonly occurs in childhood, in the head or neck regions, and retroperitoneal localization and presentations in adulthood are rare. Determining a pre-operative diagnosis is often challenging, and in the majority of cases, a diagnosis is only possible subsequent to the histological examination of the surgical specimen. A radical resection is the recommended treatment for cystic lymphangioma, and recurrence is usually due to an incomplete excision of the mass. The present study reports 2 cases of cystic lymphangioma, localized in the pancreatic gland and duodenal wall respectively, which were treated with surgical resection. The study also briefly reviews the literature regarding the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal cystic masses.

“…At the histopathological analysis, teratomas are easily recognized due to the mixture of mature components, including bone, squamous epithelium, glandular epithelium, stroma and muscle cells. At CT scan, a mature teratoma of the retroperitoneum manifests as a well circumscribed mass containing a fluid component, adipose tissue and calcifications (25). The presence of hypo-attenuating fat tissues within the cyst is considered highly suggestive of a cystic teratoma.…”

Detection and management of retroperitoneal cystic lesions: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract. The identification of cystic lesions within the retroperitoneal space is a rare event that poses clinicians the challenge of a difficult diagnosis and disease management. Retroperitoneal cystic lesions account for a group of lesions that range from common benign lesions (e.g., lymphoceles developing as a surgical complication) to rare aggressive malignant neoplasms. Currently, in the majority of cases, image-guided procedures allow for a pathological diagnosis to be achieved in these challenging lesions, thus offering the chance of an appropriate treatment; however, the overall clinical assessment of retroperitoneal cysts is highly demanding. The present study reports the management of a representative clinical case, presenting with a voluminous cystic mass able to dislocate cave vein, whose diagnosis was preceded by a deep vein thrombosis. Computed tomography-scan and ultrasound guided percutaneous drainage were performed to achieve the diagnosis. Following the discussion of the current case report, a review of the pathological and radiological characteristics of retroperitoneal cystic lesions is presented.

“…[7] Old hematomas, abscesses, urinomas, and lymphoceles must also be considered in the differential diagnosis of a lymphangioleiomyoma. A fat-fluid level in a retroperitoneal cystic mass is a recognized feature of a mature teratoma [5].…”

We report a case of retroperitoneal mass, in a postmenopausal lady,about a size 10-8 cm in left side of abdomen. This turned out pathologically lymphangiomyoma. Retrospectively when we searched in literature we found that, commonly lymphangiomyoma seen in premenopausal women and is associated with ascites or renal angiomyolipoma or plural effusion. But in our case CxR -PA was normal and abdominal USG was not showing renal or ovarian involvement. It was a rare case and presentation was rare than the literature.
