We present an uncomplicated case report of a cervical thoracic duct cyst (CTDC) in a 61-year-old woman treated with surgical excision. We reviewed 47 similar cases since it was first described in 1964 and evaluated the different diagnostic and management approaches. Previously believed to be the gold standard tool for evaluation, lymphangiography is now less popular due to advent of high-resolution imaging combined with aspiration techniques. CTDC treatment includes observation, low-fat diet, repeated aspirations, external pressure, sclerotherapy, embolisation, and surgical intervention. The preferred management of choice to date is surgical excision.
我们报告了一例61岁女性颈胸导管囊肿（CTDC）的简单病例，该患者接受了手术切除治疗。自1964年首次描述以来，我们回顾了47例类似病例，并评估了不同的诊断和治疗方法。淋巴管造影术曾被认为是评估的金标准工具，由于高分辨率成像与抽吸技术的出现，现在已不太常用。CTDC的治疗方法包括观察、低脂饮食、反复抽吸、外部加压、硬化疗法、栓塞和手术干预。迄今为止，首选的治疗方法是手术切除。
