The adjoining mass had also displaced the left ureter medially in its upper and mid-part without any evidence of hydronephrosis and psoas muscle involvement (Figure 1).

Finally, the microscopy demonstrated a fibrous cyst wall with variable-sized lymphatic channels and focal lymphoid aggregates that led to the final diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma (Figure 3).
