“…Scattered low-level echoes, a solid component, or fluid-fluid levels, all due to bleeding and fibrin deposition may occur [24]. The internal border of a lymphangioma is usually indistinct and diffuse infiltration may occur [25]. Cystic hygroma usually appears as an isolated malformation and the remainder of the lymphatic system is normal.…”

The incidence of fetal tumors has been increased due to generalization of prenatal evaluation and improvement of imaging techniques. The early detection of a fetal tumor and understanding of its imaging features are very important for fetal, maternal, and neonatal care. Ultrasonography is usually used for the detection and differential diagnosis of fetal tumors, and magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly being used as a complementary study. Many fetal tumors have different clinical and imaging features compared with pediatric tumors. Although several fetal tumors may mimic other common anomalies, some specific imaging features may carry early accurate diagnosis of fetal tumors, which may alter the prenatal management of a pregnancy and the mode of delivery, and facilitate immediate postnatal treatment.

“…Cervical teratoma is generally seen at the anterior and midline region of the neck while cystic hygroma, lymphangioma, haemangioma and bronchogenic cyst are usually seen at the posterior and lateral region. However, differential diagnosis of nasopharyngeal tumors, congenital cervical neuroblastomas and goiter are often difficult (11).…”

“…These features make it possible to distin guish the thyroid goiter from other cervical tumors: hemangiomas (which can also be cystic or mixed and appear vascularized in Doppler ultrasonography); teratomas (echo genic, cystic or mixed, with calcification sites in 50% of cases); neuroblastomas (often heterogeneous and with calcification sites) and sarcomas and cystic hygromas (latcroand retrocervical fluid masses) [6].…”

A fetal thyroid goiter detected by ultrasonography at 20 weeks of amenorrhea (WA) was diagnosed at 23 WA by a second ultrasound examination and a TSH assay in amniotic fluid. Since a sample of fetal blood at 27 WA showed that hypothyroidism was compensated and that goiter size and amniotic fluid volume were stable, intra-amniotic injection of 300 μg of L-thyroxine was delayed until 36 WA. This injection was performed before delivery to avoid potential perinatal complications (dystocia and neonatal respiratory distress) caused by large goiters.
