Cystic lymphangioma is a rare benign malformative tumor of lymphatic vessels in various locations.

We report the observation of a 62-year-old man who had been consulting for major abdominal distention for 5 years. The clinical examination found a very distended abdomen with collateral venous circulation.

The imaging was in favor of a cystic retro-peritoneal image. Surgical exploration showed a retroperitoneal cystic mass. Anatomo-pathological examination concluded that retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma.
