Adrenal lymphangioma
Updates to Article Attributes
Adrenal lymphangiomas (also, also known as cystic adrenal lymphangiomas), are rare, benign vascular adrenal lesions.
Epidemiology
According to one series, there may be a slight right-sided and female predilection3.
Clinical presentation
They usually remain asymptomatic throughout life and are almost always incidentally detected. Rarely patients may have abdominal pain 3.
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.
Radiographic features
Typically seen as a cystic adrenal lesion. Internal septations may be present.
They tend to present as relatively large lesions with an average size ranging around 3 cm 6.
Treatment and prognosis
They are benign lesions although adrenalectomy is considered as part of treatment.
