Cystic hygroma is the rare congenital lesion. This is a cystic variety of lymphangioma. Cystic hygroma arising outside of the cervicofacial, thoracic, and abdominal areas are extremely rare. Wrist is a very rare site for occurrence of cystic hygroma. Presentation depends on site of location of cystic hygroma. A case of cystic hygroma of wrist in a child is reported. This child presented with pa...

Fetal cystic hygroma is a rare developmental congenital anomaly of the lymphatic system, characterized by the formation of a multilocular, variably sized cystic mass. The incidence of cystic hygroma is estimated to be 1:6,000 pregnancies, but it is a relatively common anomaly in miscarried fetuses, with a frequency of 1:875 [1]. Among the cystic hygroma, the septate cystic hygroma carry poor pe...

Fetal cystic hygroma is a rare developmental congenital anomaly of the lymphatic system, characterized by the formation of a multilocular, variable sized cystic mass. Most of cystic hygromas are found in the neck and other rare locations include axilla, mediastinum, and limbs. There are many papers about cystic hygroma colli, but there are only a few papers about fetal axillary cystic hygroma a...

BACKGROUND Cystic hygroma is a rare benign abnormality of the lymphatic system generally occurring in young children less than 2 years old. The standard transcervical surgical treatment of cystic hygroma may often leave a permanent scar in the neck region. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of cystic hygroma in a 19-month-old Asian baby girl successfully treated with robot-assisted excision t...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Occasionally, diving ranulas may attain large dimensions (giant ranula); gross involvement of the submandibular and parapharyngeal spaces makes differentiation from other cystic neck masses, particularly cystic hygroma, difficult. As diving ranula and cystic hygroma are managed with different surgical approaches, avoidance of this pitfall is critical. Our purpose was to r...

Cystic Hygroma is a well-recognized lesion in paediatric patients but it is very rare in adults. We report here a case of Cervical Cystic Hygroma in a 45 yr old male. The reasons to present this case are 1) Its rarity in adults 2) Unusual age of presentation 3) Simulates various benign and malignant lesions at this site 4) Is a diagnostic challenge and 5) Role of histology for definitive postop...

cystic hygroma (ch) in the cervical region presents as a challenge to the anesthetist. the anaesthetic difficulties are usually associated with ch because of tumor extension into the mouth, airway management, thoracic extension, hemorrhage, involvement of pretracheal region, post operative respiratory obstruction and coexisting anomalies (down syndromes, turner syndromes and congenital cardiac ...

This is a report of a case of cystic hygroma of the neck in a female child. Cystic hygroma is a rare congenital malformation of the lymphatic system, most frequently detected in the head and neck region. Ultrasound is considered as being the first level study to investigate a suspected mass suggestive of cystic hygroma. The Authors describe the main diagnostic ultrasound features for this type ...

We report a case of cystic hygroma in a 7 month old boy causing severe airway compromise, and discuss the acute management of airway obstruction and the surgical management of cystic hygroma.
