Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 27
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE 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 tumours. 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.
