Abstract:
Objective:To enhance the understanding of adrenal lymphangioma by summarizing and analyzing the cases of adrenal lymphangioma,and to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of adrenal lymphangioma.Methods:The clinical data of 8 patients with adrenal lymphangioma admitted to our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical symptoms,imaging features,treatment methods,pathological manifestations and prognosis of adrenal lymphangioma were summarized and analyzed in combination with literature.Results:Among the 8 patients,7 were the first case and 1 was the recurrence case.The median diagnostic age was 34 years old.The ratio of male to female was 3∶5.All patients underwent complete resection of tumors,including 6 minimally invasive operations and 2 open operations.The prognosis was good.Follow-up ranged from 2 months to 3 years.No signs of recurrence and metastasis were found.Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of adrenal lymphangioma are varied.The accompanying symptoms include hypertension,lumbar discomfort,dizziness,abdominal distension and vomiting.Ultrasound,CT and MRI can assist diagnosis,and the diagnosis depends on pathology.The prognosis of the tumors is good after complete resection.Cyst aspiration or de-roofing decompression alone is prone to recurrence.
