摘　　要：Lymphangioma,a benign neoplasm of the lymphatic system,is common in children but rare in adults.Its clinical manifestations include abdominal pain,nausea, vomiting and a palpable mass.However,abdominal sonography or abdominal computed tomography(CT) scan can also incidentally reveal lymphangioma.A larger or symptomatic lymphangioma is treated with total resection to prevent recurrence,infection,torsion and enlargement.Although lymphangioma rarely becomes malignant,its prognosis is generally good. We report a cystic lymphangioma of the spleen and retroperitoneum,which was incidentally found in a 56-year-old man who was hospitalized due to a colon mass.Physical examination showed no specific findings.Abdominal CT revealed a 5.7 cm,non-enhanced multilobulated cystic mass with multiple septa in the spleen and a 10 cm lobulated cystic mass in the paraaortic area.Splenectomy and retroperitoneal resection of the cystic mass were conducted.The endotheliumof splenic and retroperitoneal cyst was immunohisto- chemically stained with D2-40 antibody.The patient was finally diagnosed with splenic cystic and retroperitoneal cavernous lymphangioma. 关键词：淋巴管瘤脾脏腹膜症状免疫组织化学染色成人断层扫描 CT扫描
