“…Sclerotherapy is a common approach to treat hemangiomas and vascular malformations. Shou-jiang Tang et al [12] performed sclerotherapy for thoracic mediastinal LVMs by endoscopy, Omer Karakas et al [13] treated cervical-mediastinal LVMs with bleomycin and the lesion almost regressed. Compared with thoracotomy, sclerotherapy has many advantages, such as being minimally invasive, less operation impact on the patient, and low risk.…”

“…The cystic image is a result of the low density of the fluid in the inner site, though it may sometimes be perceived as a solid lesion rather than cystic if the inner site of the lesion is filled with hemorrhage, a high amount fat or protein that increases the density (10). Magnetic resonance imaging is the most sensitive radiological technique for the evaluation of the inner structure and the dimensions of the lesion, as well as its relationship with the near tissues, vessels and organs (11). The preferred treatment is total surgical excision, although some people prefer a conservative approach in asymptomatic patients.…”

Cystic hygroma is an uncommon congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that is composed of dilated and fluid-filled lymphatic vessels. It is thought to occur due to a blockage in the lymphatic system during the developmental stage. Most are located in the neck, although they can also present in the axilla and mediastinum. Isolated mediastinal cystic hygroma is a very rare pathology in adults, with complete surgical excision being the treatment of choice. The lesion and the surrounding tissue must be fully resected due to the high recurrence rates associated with incomplete resections. In cases where a total excision is impossible, radiotherapy, aspiration, sclerosing injections, systemic chemotherapy and interferon-α are the other treatment options. Here, we report on a case with an incidentally detected mediastinal cystic hygroma, presenting the results of a four-year follow up after a complete resection.

We present a case of a one day old neonate that appears at premature birth -33 weeks of pregnancy with a huge cervical mass causing severe difficulties of breathing. First the child was intubated admitted in the ICU .Here my colleagues from Neonatology department struggle to sustain the vital functions with mechanical ventilator ,parenteral feeding , transfusion etc. ..Diagnosis of the nature of the mass was made clinically and confirmed by ultrasonography, lab tests finally histopathology .A computer tomography of the neck, or a biopsy were not possible immediately because of prematurity , severe pulmonary complication .The surprise was to discover that the mass was a congenital goiter associated with and a right later cervical cystic hygroma -a rare lymphatic malformation . It was impossible to discover a genetic relation between the diseases or a teratogenic external cause to explain the concomitant neck lesion.i. The purpose of the report is not only to present such a rare case, association between a giant. congenital goiter with a lymphangioma\but most important to discuss the difficulties related with the management of such a case. Example-difficult delivery., severe respiratory distress and difficulties to intubate because of deviation of the larynx.ii. If for the diagnosis a CT scan and laboratory test are enough, is more important if the problem is diagnosed intrapartum using ultrasonography and if is an important compression on the airways a MRI will evaluate the mass for an eventual EXIT treatment.iii. The treatment unfortunately is very difficult and dangerous because important vessel and nerves are included in the mass, plus high risk of hemorrhage, infection, plus risk of general anesthesia. Another point was our intention to discuss, what is the best attitude facing such a, problem algorithm of diagnosis and treatment.
