A RARE CASE OF RETROPERITONEAL CYST
Abstract
Retroperitoneal lymph cysts
are rare benign tumours of the lymphatic
system, seen rarely in adults. Although
various imaging modalities have been
described, accurate preoperative diagnosis
is often difficult. Here we report a rare
case of retroperitoneal lymph cyst in a 35
-year-old female with complaint of abdominal
pain and fever. CT scan abdomen
suggestive of retroperitoneal cyst
and by Explorative laparotomy diagnosis
of retroperitoneal lymph cyst was confirmed.
The lymph cyst was excised.
