Abstract
- Lymphangioma usually occurs in children and usually involves neck and axillary region. Renal or perirenal cystic lymphangioma, hepatic lymphangiomatosis and splenic lymphangiomatosis are very rare disorders. Perirenal cystic lymphangioma combined with multiple hepatic cysts or multiple splenic cysts suspected to be lymphangiomatosis has not been reported in adults in this country until now. The patient was a 43-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with multiple splenic cysts about ten years ago. She presented with a perirenal cystic lesion discovered incidentally and we detected small multiple hepatic cysts additionally with abdominal CT. We removed perirenal cyst surgically and a perirenal lymphangioma was confirmed.
