Manifestation of cystic hygroma in adulthood is very rare. The rarity of cystic hygroma in adults has caused problems in its diagnosis and management and few studies have reported cystic hygroma in adults.
In this study, we reported a rare case with cervical cystic hygroma in adults. We report a 20-year-old Iranian male (Iranian ethnicity) with a diagnosis of right-side neck cystic hygroma and discuss the presentation, diagnosis, and clinical, radiological, and operative aspects of it.
Cystic hygromas are a rare occurrence in adults. They are typically asymptomatic, rarely complicated, and can be mistaken for a cystic neck mass. This study showed that in our case, surgical resection may be a safe and effective treatment for cystic hygroma, with minimal risk of complications during the procedure.
囊性水瘤在成年期的表现非常罕见。囊性水瘤在成年人中的罕见性导致了其诊断和管理方面的问题，并且很少有研究报道过成年人的囊性水瘤。
在本研究中，我们报告了一例罕见的成年颈囊性水瘤病例。我们报告了一例 20 岁的伊朗男性（伊朗裔），诊断为右侧颈部囊性水瘤，并讨论了其表现、诊断以及临床、影像学和手术方面。
囊性水瘤在成年人中较为罕见。它们通常是无症状的，很少出现并发症，并且可能被误诊为囊性颈部肿块。本研究表明，在我们的病例中，手术切除可能是囊性水瘤的一种安全有效的治疗方法，手术过程中并发症的风险极小。
