This case report describes a case of omental lymphangioma presented as retroperitoneal lump.

Laparotomy done under general anesthesia, a 10 × 12 cm cystic swelling arising from omentum, identified complete excision of the cyst done and send the specimen for histopathological examination.
Biopsy report came as omental lymphangioma.
Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Omental lymphangioma is very rare presentation among abdominal lymphangiomas specifically in adults.
Complete excision is the treatment of choice.
