We present a case of a 30-year-old female who was evaluated for right flank pain. Clinical and diagnostic work up revealed a urinary tract infection with focal pyelonephritis of the right kidney. Ultrasound and computed tomography of the abdomen were included in the evaluation and revealed incidental finding of cystic structure at right suprarenal space. Follow-up evaluation for further characterization of cyst was performed with MRI and displayed a 4.8x4.5-cm right adrenal cyst containing dystrophic calcification, septations, and minimal nodularity. Surgical resection and histologic findings were compatible with cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland. Adrenal lymphangioma is a rare and benign lesion that is most often identified incidentally during radiological investigation or at autopsy. Diagnostic features of adrenal cysts including lymphangiomas are discussed.

A 65-year-old man was admitted to our institution with vomiting and right flank pain. Computed tomography (CT) imaging showed a 21-cm retroperitoneal multilocular cystic tumor which had been identified four years previously. It had increased from 17 to 21 cm. The initial diagnosis was cystic lymphangioma because it was a clear cystic tumor without a boundary or a solid component in the first CT, but later CT revealed an unclear boundary with surrounding organs suggesting malignancy. We decided to resect the tumor because it was symptomatic and might be malignant. The tumor was then resected along with surrounding organs because invasion was suspected. Pathological findings indicated a diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma with chronic inflammation and confirmed complete resection of the tumor. The patient has remained free of recurrence at one year after surgery. This experience indicates that cystic lymphangioma should be completely resected to prevent recurrence.
