Abstract

Cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland is a rare benign tumor, typically discovered incidentally due to its asymptomatic nature. Imaging techniques such as ultrasound and CT scans play a critical role in suggesting the diagnosis, but definitive confirmation is achieved through histopathological analysis of the surgical specimen. The preferred treatment is surgical excision, with complete resection offering an excellent prognosis. However, incomplete removal may lead to recurrence, underscoring the importance of regular postoperative monitoring. We present a case of a 55 year old man diagnosed with cystic lymphangioma, successfully treated through surgical resection, with plans for ongoing follow-up.

Keywords: Cystic lymphangioma, adrenal gland, cystic tumor
