“…The seriousness of these malformations is due, on the one hand, to their evolving potential capable of compressing and invading the upper aerodigestive tracts, putting the child's vital prognosis at risk, and on the other hand to the classic difficulty of their excision [3] [9]. Few studies have been carried out on cervico-mandibular LKC in children in Africa and in particular in our country [2] [3] [7] [10] [11]. The neonatal discovery of a cervico-mandibular mass with deformation of the child's face making it frightening, the survival of the child with bad luck mentioned by the children's parents as well as the difficulty of taking this malformation into our African country, motivated this study in our department, the main aim of which is to discuss: the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects and to review the literature.…”

Introduction: Cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign malformative tumors of the lymphatic system of obscure etiopathogenesis. The cervico-facial location remains the most common (75%). Although benign, these tumors remain potentially fatal, due to possible compression of the upper aero-digestive tract. The aim of this work is to study the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of cervico-mandibular congenital cystic lymphangiomas in the pediatric surgery department of the Donka National Hospital (HND) Conakry. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive study of 13 files lasting 7 years from January 2015 to December 31, 2021. The files of children whose age is less than or equal to 15 years operated on cervical tumor with histological evidence of cystic lymphangioma were retained. The data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software 21 and anonymously. Results: The incidence of this study was 1.86 cases per year and a sex ratio of 0.62 in favor of girls. The average age was 8 months 19 days. In the antecedents, we only find poorly monitored pregnancies. The average size of the tumors was 11.85 cm. Cervical ultrasound and standard x-ray of the cervical mass were the only examinations performed. Total surgical excision of the cervical tumor was performed in all patients. The mass was polycystic on exploration. The histological examination of the surgical specimens was in favor of a cystic lymphangioma. The surgical consequences were simple in 11 patients (84.62%) and complicated by parietal suppuration in 2 cases (15.38%). There were no cases of recurrence after one year of follow-up.

“…The mass may be small and go unnoticed at birth. However, most lesions are recognized early due to their size and associated symptoms of respiratory obstruction (dyspnea when compressing the trachea) [18,19] and problems with feeding (dysphagia when compressing the esophagus), which are the second and third most common presenting symptom.…”

Neck lymphangiomas are rare, benign congenital malformations that predominate in childhood. Most present before the age of two. There are no risk factors related to sex, ethnic origin or predominance on either side, and they can occur in any anatomical location, although the most frequent is in the head and neck. The clinical presentation depends on its location. The most frequent symptom is the existence of a painless mass that grows slowly. Available therapeutic tools include surgery, systemic treatment, and injection of sclerosing agents.
