Sixteen cases of cervical cystic lymphangioma are reported; all but two were present at birth. Intra-oral extensions were detected in five and three of these caused macroglossia resulting in partial respiratory obstruction. Mal-development of the jaws and consequent dental malocclusion is a possible complication of the condition. In planning the treatment of such patients, maxillo-facial surgeons and orthodontists should be consulted at an early stage. The treatment of choice is complete excision, but where vital structures are involved repeated sub-total excisions are advocated.
报告了16例颈部囊状淋巴管瘤；除2例以外，其余均在出生时就已存在。其中5例检测到有口内扩展，其中3例导致巨舌症，造成部分呼吸阻塞。颌骨发育不良及随之而来的牙列咬合不正可能是该病的并发症。在规划此类患者的治疗时，应尽早咨询颌面外科医生和正畸医生。治疗的首选方法是完整切除，但如果涉及重要结构，则主张反复进行次全切除。
