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 tumors. 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, together with its histopathological, radiologic, and operative features.
囊状水瘤/淋巴管瘤在成人中极为罕见。它们通常见于2岁以下的婴幼儿。由于肿瘤具有粘连特性,整块切除困难。手术干预不充分常导致疾病复发。我们在此报告一例囊状水瘤/淋巴管瘤,该病例在一名成人的颈部表现为罕见肿块,并介绍其组织病理学、放射学及手术特征。
