“…In a study conducted by Makni et al (12), the cases of 20 patients who underwent surgical resection, followed by physical examinations and abdominal ultrasonography for an average period of 5 months (range, 1-60 months), were evaluated. In total, 2/20 patients (10%) who underwent the surgical removal of the tumor experienced a recurrence of the disease: The first patient relapsed 6 months after a radical intervention and the second patient relapsed 60 months after surgery, due to a partial resection (12). In another previous study, follow-up was considered to be complete at 30 months post-surgery (13).…”

“…The recommended treatment is radical surgical resection. In case of the involvement of the surrounding tissue, the resection should also include the removal of surrounding tissue to ensure complete excision of the tumor, as incomplete resections may be accompanied by an increased risk of recurrence (50% compared with 7% for complete resection) (11,12).…”

Retroperitoneal lymphangioma: A report of 2 cases and a review of the literature regarding the differential diagnoses of retroperitoneal cystic masses

et al. 2016

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.

“…Cystic lymphangiomas are generally benign congenital malformations characterized by abnormal lymphatic tissues unable to develop normal lymphatic vessel communications (7). Cystic lymphangiomas are more common in men and can occur at any age, even though ~90% are found in children <2 years of age (7)(8)(9)(10). Frequently, these lesions involve the head and the neck (11), while they are unusual in retroperitoneal locations (1,(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

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

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.

Background: Abdominal lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor can occur in children but its discovery in adults is very rare. This article was undertaken to study the presentations, diagnostic difficulties and surgical outcome of abdominal cystic lymphangioma in adult patients. Materials and Methods:Clinical and imaging files of thirteen patients with abdominal cystic lymphangioma (ACL) treated in Tanta University hospital during a period of 15 years were reviewed for demographic data, presentations, radiological studies, histopathology and surgical outcome.
