Cervical cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors that pose a formidable challenge to surgeons confronted with managing this uncommon entity. Due to the intimacy with which these cystic lesions blend with critical cervical structures, a considerable number of patients who undergo surgical management are often plagued with recurrence and morbidity. As a result, doxycycline sclerotherapy has become an attractive, safe, and effective alternative as a primary treatment modality in a select group of pediatric patients. This case report presents an 18-month-old patient with a large cervical cystic hygroma that was effectively treated with exclusive doxycycline sclerotherapy.
颈部囊性淋巴管瘤是罕见的良性肿瘤，给面临处理这一罕见病症的外科医生带来了巨大挑战。由于这些囊性病变与颈部关键结构紧密相连，相当一部分接受手术治疗的患者常受复发和并发症困扰。因此，强力霉素硬化疗法已成为一组特定儿科患者首选的、有吸引力、安全且有效的主要治疗方式。本病例报告介绍了一名18个月大的患有巨大颈部水囊瘤的患者，该患者仅通过强力霉素硬化疗法就得到了有效治疗。
