“…8 Treatment of cystic hygroma is total surgical excision. 1 A skin incision is sufficient for most lesions, but the surgical intervention should be chosen according to the location of the lesion. One case of mediastinal cystic lymphangioma was reported to be treated by total excision via a bilateral thoracoscopic intervention.…”

“…Although it may be seen in any area of the body, it usually appears in the cervical posterior triangle (75%), axilla (20%), mediastinum (5%), retroperitoneal region, or pelvis. 1 The first step in diagnosis is ultrasonographic imaging, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more valuable for evaluation of the lesion and determination of its association with surrounding tissues. 2 Cystic hygroma is usually seen before the age of 2 years.…”

Cystic hygroma is a benign tumor of lymphatic tissue. It usually develops before the second year of life and is rarely seen in adults. A 26-year-old woman was referred to our clinic with a swelling in the left supraclavicular region, which had appeared 5 months earlier and grown rapidly. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a 7-cm cystic lesion in the neighborhood of the carotid artery and jugular vein medially and the supraclavicular region inferiorly The lesion was dissected completely from the surrounding tissue. The patient had no complications and was discharged on postoperative day one.

Lenfanjiomlar genel olarak iki yaş altında görülen, lenfatik kanalları etkileyen benign karakterli doğuştan malformasyonlardır. En sık baş ve boyun bölgesinden köken alırlar. Erişkin yaşta görülmesi nadir olmakla birlikte servikal kitlelerde ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulmalıdır. Öykü, fizik muayene bulguları ve görüntüleme yöntemleri yoluyla tanı konulur. Tercih edilen tedavi yöntemi cerrahidir. Bu yazıda, sol servikal bölgede bulunan ve daha önce eksize edilmesine rağmen büyümeye devam eden 13.2¥7.6¥13 cm boyutlarında kitlesi olan 27 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu. Kitlenin ultrasonografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulguları kistik lenfanjiom ile uyumlu idi. Dolayısıyla, kitlenin tamamı eksize edildi. Histopatolojik inceleme kistik lenfanjiom ile uyumlu idi. Cerrahi sonrası dönemde komplikasyon izlenmedi ve bir yıllık takipte nüks gelişmedi.

“…They are quite rare in adults [ 2 ]. The etiology of hygromas in adults is controversial, but they are thought to be due to proliferation of lymphoid vessels in response to head and neck trauma and/or infection [ 3 ]. Here, we present the case of a 38-year-old male patient with cystic hygroma in the cervical region.…”

Cystic hygromas/lymphangiomas are extremely rare malformations in adults. They are usually seen in infants and children under 2 years of age. En bloc resection is difficult due to the adhesive characteristics of the tumors. Inadequate surgical intervention often leads to recurrent disease. We report herein the case of a cystic hygroma/lymphangioma that presented as an uncommon mass on the cervical region in an adult, together with its histopathological, radiologic, and operative features.
