“…One should be cautious not to mistake cystic hygroma for cavernous hemangioma, as lymphangioma can be distinguished by the presence of lymphatic spaces with thin walls containing fibrous tissue, smooth muscle, and lymphoid aggregates. Lymphangioma is a benign tumor that can be treated through surgical excision [22].…”

Background: Cystic hygromas are primarily found in the cervicofacial, thoracic, and abdominal regions, with limited occurrences in other areas. Despite existing literature on this condition, comprehensive descriptions and MRI findings of cystic hygromas in the extremities are rare. Aim: This case report aims to present a unique instance of a cystic hygroma in the left thigh. The objective is to provide detailed insights into the characteristics of this atypical presentation. Case Presentation: The case involves a 2-year-10 month-old girl with a cystic hygroma in her left thigh. The report includes a comprehensive description of the lesion's clinical features and diagnostic evaluation, emphasizing the MRI findings to enhance understanding of this rare occurrence. Conclusion: This case report highlights the rarity of cystic hygromas outside the cervicofacial, thoracic, and abdominal regions, explicitly focusing on the occurrence in the left thigh. By presenting detailed insights into the clinical features, MRI findings, histopathological findings, and the surgical approach employed, this report contributes to the existing knowledge on this condition in atypical locations and informs future treatment strategies.

“…1 Interferon alpha, laser therapy and intralesional sclerosing agents are nonsurgical treatment options for cystic hygromas. 1,14 OK-432 (Picibanil), a streptococcal immunotherapeutic agent is the sclerosing agent of choice. 1 Bleomycin is a sclerosing agent that harbors the risk of pulmonary toxicity.…”

“…1 Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice for cystic hygromas, however its location may make an en bloc resection challenging. 5,14 Since cyst remnants cause tumor recurrence, total excision of the cyst affects prognosis. 14 According to Riechelmann, et al complete disease control for cystic hygroma can be achieved after total removal of the cystic structures; 89% disease control after subtotal removal; 14% disease control after partial removal; and 0% disease control after incision and aspiration of cystic hygroma.…”

This is a case of a 44- year old female presenting with an 18cm x 17cm soft, movable, non-tender mass at the right axilla extending to the lateral aspect of the right breast. Computerized tomographic scan of the chest revealed a lobulated, multi-septated hypodense mass. The patient underwent excision of the right axillary mass and final histopathology revealed cystic lymphangioma. Adult-onset cystic hygroma of the axilla is a rare case, with less than 10 studies documented in PubMed. Total surgical excision remains to be its primary treatment. Key words: Adult-onset cystic hygroma, cystic hygroma, lymphangioma, axilla

“…CHs are usually observed in children under two years old [ 5 ]; they are quite rare in adults and are thought to occur due to the proliferation of lymph vessels in response to trauma and/or head and neck infections [ 1 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Cystic hygromas (CHs) are benign congenital malformations of the lymphatic system mainly diagnosed in small children aged less than two years old. They may give a multitude of local, sometimes severe complications. The most used method of treatment is surgical removal. In this paper, we present the case of a CH of a 13-year-old boy, localized in the right lateral region of the neck, diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with excellent results of the surgical treatment.
