Objective: Lymphangiomas are rare adrenal lesions, most of them asymptomatic. Methods: We report one case of adrenal lymphangioma in a 41-year-old female patient with elevated serum catecholamine levels. Results: Lymphangiomas are multicystic lesions covered by endothelium and with serous content, the differential diagnosis of which is mainly established with hemangioma and adenomatoid tumor. Conclusions: Surgical treatment is indicated in big lesions and symptomatic cases, which are left asymptomatic after surgery.
