“…All ages combined, the incidence would be 0.8% of benign tumors and 0.1% of benign cervico-facial tumors (Oosthuizen et al, 2010). A few rare cases in young adults have been described between 20 and 30 (Owono et al, 2021;Sakthivel et al, 2018;Mukakala et al, 2020). However, discovery beyond the age of 50 remains exceptional, as…”

Lymphangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors of lymphatic origin, of unclear pathogenesis and variable localization. Lymphangiomas are often found in young people but are exceptional over 50-years-old. Diagnosis is based on clinical and imaging findings and confirmed by anatomopathological examination of the surgical specimen. Treatment is surgical, and recurrence is frequent. We report a clinical observation of a 56-year-old patient who presented with a large cervical mass that had been evolving for XX years. Treatment was surgical. Pathological examination was in favor of a cystic lymphangioma. There was no recurrence at 1-year postoperative follow-up.

The lymphatic system is a collection of tissues and organs that move lymph fluid (a watery fluid filled with white blood cells) through the bloodstream and circulatory system to remove waste and toxins.…”

Introduction: Cystic hygroma is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that presents as single cavities filled with fluid, more frequently at the cervical level and can be associated with genetic syndromes and malformations. Objective: To carry out a systematic review through the study of cystic hygroma and its importance in its prenatal diagnosis. Methodology: A qualitative systematic review of the studies focused on cystic hygroma was carried out. Literature search techniques included search engines such as Medline (Pubmed), Scielo, Elseiver. A total of 20 items are included. Results: Cystic hygromas are endothelial cell-covered cysts that arise from lymphatic malformations. Many of them affect the cervical lymph nodes and occur in the neck region. Other preferred locations are the axilla, mediastinum, groin, and retroperitoneal area, where these cystic lesions are present at birth. Conclusions: The importance of prenatal diagnosis methods are fundamental to know the potential problems that the R.N. after his birth.
