Cystic lymphangioma is a relatively rare congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. It is very rare that retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma was detected by prenatal ultrasonography. There has been no case reported that scrotal cystic lymphangioma was detected by prenatal ultrasonography. We detected a cystic structure with multiseptation in the scrotum at 30 weeks gestation. In addition, we detected the same structure in the retroperitoneum at 35 weeks gestation by routine ultrasonography. Because of increasing size of the cyst, we performed induction delivery at 38 weeks gestation. Operation of the neonate was performed on the 13th day after birth by a pediatric surgeon and the mass was excised and confirmed as cystic lymphangioma. We experienced a case of huge cystic lymphangioma of the retroperitoneum and scrotum by prenatal sonography and report our case with a brief review of literature.
