The retroperitoneum is the rarest site, accounting for &lt;1 % of all types of lymphangioma. The incidence of cystic lymphangioma is unknown due to the scarcity of published data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 45-year-old female presented to our hospital complaining of vague abdominal pain and intermittent episodes of vomiting over four months.
