title: Retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma diagnosed by computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and thin needle aspiration.
abstract: We report a case of retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma presenting with right pack pain. Although preoperative diagnosis is usually difficult in such a rare condition, we could make the preoperative diagnosis on grounds of the peculiar findings obtained by computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and needle aspiration.
