Cystic hygroma, also known as lymphangioma, are unusual congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. Cystic lymphangioma is a rare lesion in the breast of children. Only a few cases have been documented in literature. We report a rare case of a 5-year-old boy presented with a gradually enlarging, painless breast mass which was identified sonographically and histologically as a breast lymphangioma and treated by surgical excision. A local excision of the lump was performed and a diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma was made. Cyst was surgically removed, with preservation of normal tissue, and histopathologic findings showed a lymphangioma. The patient is well, after one year of follow-up, with no complaints or recurrence.
囊状水瘤，亦称淋巴管瘤，是一种罕见的先天性淋巴系统畸形。囊状淋巴管瘤是儿童乳房的一种罕见病变。仅有少数病例在文献中记载。我们报告一例罕见的 5 岁男童，其逐渐增大、无痛的乳房肿块，经超声和组织学检查确定为乳房淋巴管瘤，并通过手术切除进行治疗。肿块行局部切除术，诊断为囊状淋巴管瘤。囊状水瘤通过手术切除，保留正常组织，组织病理学检查显示为淋巴管瘤。患者在 1 年的随访中情况良好，无任何不适或复发。
