We report a typical case of cystic hygroma presenting in an elderly female patient. A review of the literature on this condition reveals that although rare in adults, it should form part of the differential diagnosis of a cystic swelling in the neck in this group of patients as well as in the more commonly observed juvenile population. The embryology and pathogenesis of lymphangiomata are discussed as well as the recommended management of a cystic hygroma in an older patient.
我们报告了一例老年女性患者出现典型囊状水瘤的病例。对有关该病症的文献综述显示，尽管在成人中罕见，但在这组患者以及更常见的青少年人群中，它应成为颈部囊性肿物鉴别诊断的一部分。本文讨论了淋巴管瘤的胚胎学和发病机制，以及老年患者囊状水瘤的推荐治疗方法。
