Comment on Prenat Diagn. 1993 Aug;13(8):770-1 Cystic hygroma (CH) is a benign infiltrative malformation of the lymphatic channels. We report a case of a 28-year-old Indian female who presented with rapidly enlarging right sided neck swelling over the posterior triangle since 5 days. Complete resection of CH is sometimes not amenable because of its infiltrative nature and involvement of surrounding vital structures A hygroma is a subcutaneous swelling usually over bony prominences. It forms as a consequence of repeated trauma and is most common in older large breed dogs. These include tricoepithelioma, trichoblastoma, pilomatrixoma, etc and cannot be differentiated by cytology.

Cystic hygroma or lymphangioma, which is generally congenital, can occur in any part of the body, but most commonly occurs in the head and neck region . Cystic lymphangiomas consist of large macrocystic lymphatic channels with protein-rich fluid. The gold standard, hence, for diagnosis of lymphangiomas remains histopathology and cytology. CL, also called cystic hygroma (CH) or better macrocystic lymphatic malformation (LM), is a benign congenital LM [ 1 ]. Children under 2 years of age are mainly affected (80-90%) with a 1.2-2.8 per 100 000 incidence rate [ 4 ]. Adults are instead rarely affected [ 2 ] Lymphangiomas are classified as lymphangioma simplex, cavernous lymphangioma and CL or cystic hygroma. CL is defined as a benign proliferation of lymphoid tissue and is usually considered as a congenital lesion Cystic hygromas are diagnosed clinically as a transilluminating cystic swelling and radiologically by ultrasound, Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It is confirmed by fine needle aspiration of the fluid and histology. Treatment depends on the anatomical complexity surrounding the cystic hygroma
background of cystic hygroma in the pig population has been available. The clinical phenotype of cystic hygroma in pigs resembles the human condition as well as reports of similarly affected individuals of other domestic animal species. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of the hygroma cyst in pigs Cystic hygroma is a malformation of the lymphatic and vascular system and is recognized as a benign congenital tumor that affects humans and animals in the perinatal period. This congeni-tal disorder is rarely described in animals, and until today, cystic hygroma in pigs has not been described in the literature. In a purebred Piètrain litter with twelve live-born piglets, cystic hy-groma was.
Cystic hygromas do not resolve spontaneously and surgical excision is the treatment of choice in such cases. Keywords: Cystic Hygroma, Adult, Posterior Triangle. Introduction Cystic Hygroma, also known as lymphangioma is a congenital condition of the lymphatic system. This benign malformation is generally seen in infants or children They help in distinguishing it from other differentials like branchial cyst, thymic cyst, pericardial cyst, bronchogenic cyst, cystic teratoma and cystic thymoma. On the basis of the above findings, a confident diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma can be made on cytology even in under-resourced centers. Financial support and sponsorship Nil
Introduction. Lymphangioma is a benign and common disorder in the pediatric age group. Cervical cystic hygroma was first described clinically in 1828 by Redenbacker and pathologically in 1843 by Wernher. 1 They are frequently seen in the neck (75%) and axilla (20%). 2 Most mediastinal cystic hygromas are extensions of cervical lesions, and cystic hygroma confined solely to the mediastinum is. Chylopericardium is a rare and benign condition. Apart from common causes like non-surgical trauma, tuberculosis, malignancy, radiation, and postoperative, mediastinal cystic hygroma presenting as chylopericardium is an extremely rare entity. Primary or idiopathic chylopericardium is diagnosed when the precise cause is not known. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. We report a 27-year-old lady.

Cytology revealed lymphocytic preponderance which suggested a benign cystic lesion. The lymphatic malformation involving the right breast was excised through a periareolar incision. A separate incision was given in the axilla and the axillary mass was excised upto the axillary vein. cystic hygroma appears as a radiopaque, multiloculated,. Abstract: Cystic hygroma is a rare vascular cystic tumor of lymphatic origin. Mostly it occurs in neck. But rarely it can occur also in anterior or superior mediastinum. Presentation of tumor usually gets delayed as most of them are asymptomatic presence of scant macrophages on cytology. The main differential diagnosis of a large plunging ranula is a cystic hygroma that represents a lymphatic malformation, typically presenting as a unilateral cystic neck swelling. It can be difficult to distinguish from plunging ranula on history and physical examination The typical location at upper outer quadrant and axillary tail should be kept in mind. The imaging modalities and cytology may support the diagnosis. The purpose of breast imaging is to demonstrate anatomical extent of the lesion. REFERENCES: 1.

Cystic hygroma in adulthood If a cystic lesion disappears after aspiration, then surgery is deferred. However, if the cyst recurrs, then it should be removed. Although the cyst fluid can be sent for cytology, the sensitivity of this test is probably low for detecting the presence of cancer Thyroglossal duct cyst presents most frequently in the midline of the neck, either at or just below the level of the hyoid bone. They generally manifest as painless neck swelling, and they move on protrusion of tongue and during swallowing. A case of thyroglossal cyst was reported in the left submandibular region in a 14-year-old girl, above the level of hyoid bone; ultrasound examination. The less common pathologies presenting as swelling in the neck are carotid body tumour, bronchial cyst, thyroglossal cyst, cystic hygroma, pharyngeal pouch and lumps of skin appendages.

The tumor is usually on the right side, and is firm, measuring a couple centimeters in diameter. It appears in a newborn, usually between the second and fourth weeks of life
Second branchial cleft sinus or fistulas, on the other hand, present earlier. Fistulas extend from the skin surface anterior to the middle of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, pass between the internal and external carotid arteries and eventually drain into the tonsillar fossa. Typically, second branchial cleft cysts present as a rounded swelling. 6. Baddoura FK, Varma VA: Cytology of multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma. Acta Cytol 1990, 34:524-528. 7.

Moore JH, Crum CP, Chandler JG, Feldman PS. Cystic lymphangioma is a benign and usually slow-growing tumor of the lymphatic system that is mainly diagnosed in the first few years of life. The head and neck area are the principal locations, but they may develop in virtually any part of the body. Symptoms depend on the site, but a slowly enlarging mass is frequently encountered. The diagnosis rests on imaging studies such as computed.
Cystic swellings in the neck have varied aetiology and can be a diagnostic dilemma. Some of the commonly seen cystic swellings are thyroglossal cyst, branchial pouch cysts and cystic hygroma. Branchial pouch cysts usually arise from the first and second, unusually from the rest Cystic hygroma. These usually present in the neonate or in early infancy and consist of large cysts filled with clear lymph. The swelling occurs laterally in the posterior triangle and may be bilateral with the following characteristics: It is brilliantly translucent (a feature that distinguishes it from other neck masses). It increases in size.

Background: Cystic hygromas, interchangeably named Lymphangiomas, are rare, congenital, benign lesions due to an abnormal lymphatic system development that tend to occur mostly in the head, neck, and oral cavity. Case Presentation: This is a case of 18 year old. Lymphatic malformations (LMs), primarily diagnosed in children, are uncommon in adults. Nevertheless, one should consider LM in one's differential diagnosis in cases of adult neck masses. We report..
Fibromatosis colli is an unusual cause of a neck lump in infants, but the most common cause of congenital muscular torticollis. Diagnosis can be made confidently with a clinical examination and ultrasonography, allowing early parental reassurance and avoiding invasive investigations. The mainstay of treatment is physiotherapy, and results in. Splenic lymphangioma is a rare malformation of the splenic lymphatic channels, mostly seen in children. It is characterized by the presence of cysts, resulting from increases in the size and number of thin-walled lymphatic vessels that are abnormally interconnected and dilated. The condition may be restricted to the spleen, but in most cases it.
Cervical thymic cyst (CTC) is a rare congenital disease that can appear during the developmental course of the thymus. CTCs rarely present in adulthood and can be difficult to diagnose.

Cystic lymphangioma is also called cystic hygroma or lymphangioma cysticum, is a 'macrocytic' lymphatic malformation, and is composed of large fluid-filled spaces. Cystic lymphangioma appears as a skin colored, red or bluish, somewhat transparent, swelling under the skin. Cystic lymphangioma most often affects the neck, armpits or groin Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a highly accurate and safe procedure for the evaluation of salivary gland lesions. Although complications are extremely rare, salivary gland FNA may cause hemorrhage, facial nerve injury, or cellulitis at the entry point. The risk of these complications increases in tumors of high vascularity. We report a case of unexpected facial nerve palsy following a fine. On account of the large neck mass present since early childhood, cystic hygroma was suspected clinically. However, the patient was referred for preoperative cytology. The mass was diffuse, about 10 × 6 cm, and occupying the entire left side of the neck [, inset]. It was firm, non-fluctuant, nontender, and not moving with deglutition or. Cystic hygroma (CH) is a rare benign vascular tumor caused by a congenital malformation of the lymphatic vessels. It is commonly located in the cervicofacial region [1], especially in the posterior cervical triangle, though it may be found anywhere else in the body. More than 60% of CH are present at Cystic Hygroma - A Rare Appearance in Adulthoo
Cystic hygroma is a disfiguring benign lesion commonly observed in the neck and face regions of children. The common complications of these malformations are respiratory obstruction, dysphagia, infection, and hemorrhage. Here, we present an uncommon complication of spontaneous rupture of a cystic hygroma CYSTIC HYGROMA o Earliest swelling one can see in neck o Occur as cysts of various size o Commonly in neck where tissue planes are more lax o May spread into cheek, FOM, tongue, parotid, ear canal . o Cytology o Radiolog Cystic hygroma Naresh Kumar 1, Munish Kohli 1, Saumya Pandey 2, S.P.S.
