ABSTRACT
Primary retroperitoneal tumours may arise from different structures as neural, mesodermal, urogenital ridge, or embryonic remnant tissues. Lymphangioma is a rare benign tumour of the lymphatic tissue. They result from a developmental failure of the lymphatic system. Although benign, they can compress and infiltrative vital structures. The size of the lesion is more important than its location to the symptomatology development. Intraabdominal and retroperitoneal lymphangioma are the rarest tumour, specially when occurring in adults. The tumour can occur at any age and most are asymptomatic. Preoperative diagnosis is facilitated by ultrasonography and computed tomography. In order to correctly diagnose of these neoplasms it is essential to carry on ultrasound and CT examination. Treatment of choice is always surgical and a complete extirpation should be performed, unless vital structures were are involved.
