Cystic hygroma or cystic lymphangioma is a congenital malformation of lymphatic origin. Their occurrence on the chest wall is very rare, and they progressively grow with age infiltrating into the local tissues, around muscle fibers and nerves, making them difficult and hazardous to remove. There are various treatment modalities of such lesion. Based on the literature surgical excision is the preferred treatment of choice in cystic hygroma because it gives a better cure rate compared to other modalities. We report a case successful excision of anterolateral chest wall cystic hygroma in a teenager in Hospital Serdang.
囊状水瘤或囊性淋巴管瘤是一种先天性淋巴管畸形。它们发生在胸壁的情况非常罕见，并且会随着年龄的增长逐渐生长，浸润到局部组织、肌肉纤维和神经周围，使其切除困难且具有危险性。这种病变有多种治疗方式。根据文献，手术切除是囊状水瘤首选的治疗方法，因为与其他方式相比，它的治愈率更高。我们报告了在雪兰莪医院成功切除一名青少年胸壁前外侧囊状水瘤的病例。
