Adrenal lymphangiomas (also known as cystic adrenal lymphangiomas) are rare, benign vascular adrenal lesions.

Pathology
It is supposed to occur as a result of a developmental abnormality of lymphatic channels 4.
Immunohistochemistry
- D2-40 cytoplasmic staining tends to be positive 6
- AE1/AE3 staining tends to be negative 6
Clinical presentation
They usually remain asymptomatic throughout life and are almost always incidentally detected. Rarely patients may have abdominal pain 3.
