Retroperitoneal Mass-lymphangiomyoma.

[lymphangioleiomyomatosis]

We report a case of retroperitoneal mass, in a postmenopausal lady,about a size 10-8 cm in left side of abdomen. This turned out pathologically lymphangio-myoma. Retrospectively when we searched in literature we found that, commonly lymphangiomyoma seen in premenopausal women and is associated with ascites or renal angiomyolipoma or plural effusion. But in our case CxR -PA was normal and abdominal USG was not showing renal or ovarian involvement. It was a rare case and presentation was rare than the literature.
