Lymphangioma in retroperitoneum is a rare mass-like lesion which presented histopatholigically with single or multi-cystic type and/or cavernous type; and clinically is often asymptomatic. Imaging studies was not enough to conclude exact diagnosis due to wide distribution of differential diagnosis resulted from different organ origination of tumor including of pancreas, liver, gastrointestinal and urologic system. This report described a 36 years old women complaining of 8 months vague abdominal pain underwent surgery in order to trans-abdominal total resection of a cystic mass-like tumor just located between abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. Pathologic studies revealed benign multi-cystic lymphangioma with calcified foci. Symptoms completely removed after surgery and in follow-up period.
