Clinical and CT features of adrenal cystic lymphangioma: case series and literature review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adrenal cystic lymphangiomas (ACLs) are rare and benign vascular tumors that are likely to imitate other adrenal cystic lesions on computed tomography (CT) images. We performed a retrospective analysis of the CT appearance and clinical data of all adrenal masses diagnosed by pathological tests at our institute and conducted a systematic review of all previous ACL reports. Although rare, ACLs should be considered when an adrenal lesion observed in a woman is asymptomatic, measures greater than 4 cm, and appears as a well-defined cystic mass with calcifications and non-enhancement patterns. Furthermore, D2-40 is a specific IHC marker for the histopathological diagnosis of ACL.
