“…Non-radical resection with no local recurrence during several years of follow-up was reported [10]. In such cases it seems reasonable to perform non-radical resection with a follow-up (as in the case of our patient) or with additional sclerotherapy of residual lesions [11]. Many substances (e.g.…”

Introduction . Cystic lymphangiomas are benign tumors that are most prevalent in children in the head and neck region. Abdominal location of these tumors in adults is rare. Radical surgery is the treatment of choice. Case presentation . We present a diagnostic and therapeutic approach to cystic lymphangioma. A 20-year-old male patient was diagnosed with an extensive multicystic lesion involving the hepatic hilum, hepatoduodenal ligament, aorta and inferior vena cava. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma. Non-radical resection was performed as it was impossible to dissect the lesion from large vessels. The patient underwent a consecutive follow-up.Results . An increase in residual lesions was not observed during a 7-year follow-up. No clinical manifestations were reported. Conclusions . Non-radical resection can be considered in the case of cystic lymphangioma if total tumor resection is associated with a high risk of serious intra-and postoperative complications.

“…All three subtypes are managed similarly, with complete surgical excision providing the lowest rate of recurrence [ 13 , 14 ]. Alternatively, percutaneous aspiration with injection of sclerosing agents (sclerotherapy) may be considered depending on the size, location, and clinical presentation [ 15 ]. Ultimately, the trigger for lymphangioma growth in our patient is unknown, but annual imaging and surveillance is not indicated as long as the patient remains asymptomatic.…”

Background Lymphangioma is a rare diagnosis in adult patients and typically presents in early infancy. These tumors are a result of malformation of the lymphatic vessels and usually involve the head, neck, and axilla. Case presentation We report the case of a 28-year-old African female who recently immigrated from East Africa and presented to our surgical breast clinic with a large and rapidly growing left axillary mass. Initial history and evaluation were concerning for hydatid cyst; however, on surgical excision, gross appearance was consistent with cystic lymphangioma. Diagnosis was confirmed on pathology review. Conclusions Although lymphangiomas are typically found in young children, adults may develop these tumors in response to unknown triggers. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment.

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.
