- Abstract
Retroperitoneal lymphangiectasia is a very rare benign disorder of lymphatic system. The origin of this disorder is speculative. Clinical evolution and prognosis remains unclear. Ultrasound and cross sectional imaging findings are characteristic and diagnostic of the disease. Complications of RPL have been reported only in rare cases. The management alternatives range from pharmacological substitutes to surgical interventions in symptomatic cases.
