Lymphangioma is a developmental anomaly of the lymphatic system that is infrequent in children and rare in adults. The clinical diagnosis is easy and imaging techniques are useful for determining its extension. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. The procedure is less difficult in adults than in children and recurrence is rare in complete resection. Three cases of typical adult cervical lymphangioma are reported.
淋巴管瘤是淋巴系统的一种发育异常，在儿童中并不常见，在成人中则更为罕见。临床诊断容易，影像学技术有助于确定其范围。手术切除是首选的治疗方法。该手术在成人中比在儿童中难度小，完全切除后复发罕见。本文报告三例典型的成人颈部淋巴管瘤病例。
