Cervicothoracic cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors developing from sequestration of embryonic lymph sac which is gradually filled with lymph fluid. The diagnosis is based on clinical signs (laterocervical swelling) and imaging (ultrasound and CT scan), then confirmed by histology after surgery which constitutes the basis of treatment. We here report a case of cervicothoracic cystic lymphangioma and review of the literature.
颈胸段囊性淋巴管瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤,由胚胎淋巴囊隔离发展而来,该淋巴囊逐渐充满淋巴液。诊断基于临床体征(颈侧肿胀)和影像学检查(超声和CT扫描),然后通过手术后的组织学检查确诊,手术是治疗的基础。我们在此报告一例颈胸段囊性淋巴管瘤病例并复习相关文献。
