“…A retroperitoneal cyst's clinical signs and symptoms vary, and the diagnosis can often be challenging [10] . These masses may grow to huge sizes before pressuring nearby structures and causing symptoms; alternatively, they may be discovered during diagnostic imaging for another reason [11] .…”

“…This distribution does not follow the standard ascites fluid distribution, which lowers the likelihood of simple loculated ascites being present. The clinical symptoms of retroperitoneal lymphatic malformations often present with a palpable abdominal mass with associated mild abdominal pain but can be highly variable in presentation [ 1 , 4 , 5 ]. This was exemplified in this case, as the only notable clinical symptom observed was abdominal pain despite the large abdominal presence of the retroperitoneal lymphatic malformation.…”

“…Despite having varied anatomical manifestations, most retroperitoneal lymphatic malformations are asymptomatic. Early clinical symptoms are nonspecific, including abdominal or back pain, hematuria, fatigue, fever, and weight loss [ 4 , 5 ]. These symptoms may occur secondary to neighboring structure encroachment if the tumor mass is enlarged, as seen in the patient described here.…”

Retroperitoneal lymphatic malformations are rare, benign, cystic tumors of the lymphatic system, accounting for 1% of all lymphatic malformation manifestations. Lymphatic malformations are often asymptomatic, but may clinically present with abdominal pain and a palpable mass. Initial diagnostic workup is challenging due to the difficulty of differentiating from masses that may arise from the pancreas, liver, and kidney. This report describes a recurrent retroperitoneal lymphatic malformation in a 15-year-old male. The patient presented with abdominal pain and radiological imaging demonstrated abdominal fluid collection. Following conservative management using aspiration, the patient presented three months later with recurrent abdominal pain. Radiological imaging identified a large thin-walled cystic lesion in the right hemiabdomen containing minimal thin internal septations. Histological analysis confirmed the lymphatic malformation following computed tomography-guided biopsy. The patient underwent aspiration and was referred for outpatient sclerotherapy to prevent future abdominal fluid collection. This case highlights conservative management of recurrent retroperitoneal lymphatic malformation, both on the initial and subsequent presentation.

“…Cystic lymphangiomas (CL) are an extremely rare sub type of slow-growing benign congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. Notably, to date, less than 200 cases have been reported in the literature (1) . Pathophysiologically, this entity originates secondary to an obstruction of the lymphatic ducts, resulting in lymphangiectasia.…”

Retroperitoneal cystic lymphangiomas (RCL) are rare benign tumors of the lymphatic system. They account for less than 1% of all lymphangiomas and to date, less than 200 cases have been reported worldwide. Surgical resection is the recommended treatment option; however, obtaining a pre-operative diagnosis is often difficult and, in most cases, the final diagnosis is only possible following histological assessment of the surgical specimen. This report describes a case of RCL in a 58-year-old female cirrhotic patient who presented to our center with dull aching abdominal pain and distension. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a RCL in a cirrhotic patient reported in the literature.
