Cystic hygromas are benign lesions arising due to an abnormality in lymphatic development and only rarely present in adults. Adequate radiological imaging prior to surgery is important as incomplete excision often leads to recurrence. Several adjunctive therapies have been shown to be beneficial in recurrent or inaccessible lesions but these are not in common use. We describe the case of a cystic lymphangioma appearing in adulthood that presented a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
囊状水瘤是由于淋巴发育异常而产生的良性病变，在成人中很少见。手术前进行充分的放射影像学检查很重要，因为切除不完全常导致复发。已证明几种辅助治疗方法对复发性或难以触及的病变有益，但这些方法并不常用。我们描述了一例成年期出现的囊性淋巴管瘤病例，该病例带来了诊断和治疗方面的挑战。
