“…They are most common in the posterior triangle of neck (97%) followed by sub-mandibular region (20%), and 5 % in rare site like abdomen, axilla, shoulder, chest wall, parotid region. 1 Incidence of these lesions are 1.2-2.8% per 1000 new born, with no sexual predilection. 1,2,3 They are due to the abnormal development of lymphatic tissues in childhood 1,4 .…”

“…1 Incidence of these lesions are 1.2-2.8% per 1000 new born, with no sexual predilection. 1,2,3 They are due to the abnormal development of lymphatic tissues in childhood 1,4 . The possible theories are developing lymphatic tissue not getting properly anastomosed, lymphatic tissue not getting anastomosed with the veins and arteries, lymphatic tissues getting harvested in wrong places in childhood.…”

“…Bill and Summer hypothesized in 1965 as cystic hygroma and lymphangioma to be two different disease. 1 Capillary type is believed to be occurring soft tissues like sub cutaneous whereas cavernous in dense tissues like tongue. They most commonly present as a large, soft, cystic, compressible, non-tender and transillumination positive.…”

“…Outcome of surgery can be predicted as cervicofacial lesions have more success rate than any other parts and infrahyoid lesions have more success rate than suprahyoid. 1 Age has no role towards outcome of the surgery. Postoperative complications generally would be infection, haemorrhage, hematoma formation, seroma and injury to the neuro-vascular bundle.…”

“…Other non-surgical techniques would be aspiration, radiotherapy, sclerotherapy for unresectable and recurrent cases. 1,8 General sclerotherapy agents used are sodium morrhuate, dextrose, tetracycline, doxycycline, bleomycin, OK-432 (has low perilesional fibrosis). 9 Okazaki et.al 1 recommended use of only OK-432 sclerotherapy for single cystic and macrocytic type of lesions.…”

A 28-years-old female patient presented with complaints of swelling on the left side of neck of 2 months duration. The swelling was insidious in onset and progressive in nature. There was no history of fever, trauma or discharge from swelling. Clinical examination revealed a swelling that was soft, cystic, compressible, non-tender, and mobile. Transillumination test was positive (Fig. 1). On MRI, it showed a cystic swelling with no connection with any major vessels or the thoracic duct (Fig. 2). Patient was taken up for complete surgical excision. Intra operatively a turbid swelling with a thin wall was seen with a feeding vessel from the transverse cervical artery which was ligated and cut (Fig. 3, 4). Post operatively patient had no complications of seroma formation, haemorrhage or haematoma. Post-operative biopsy showed single layer of endothelium lined by flat fibrocollagenous wall suggestive of lymphangioma.

Background: Lymphangiomas are benign malformations of lymphatic system uncommon in adults. We present a case of adult cystic lymphangioma in the neck region. Case presentation: A 26 year old female presented with a large swelling on the right side of the neck. The patient was uncomfortable cosmetically. Clinical diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma was made based on history and physical examination. An impression of lymphangioma was given on FNAC and radiological examination. The cyst is surgically removed by raising a skin flap and the cyst wall specimen was sent for histopathological examination for confirmation. The histopathological sections confirmed the diagnosis. The postoperative period is uneventful. There was no recurrence till the current follow up. Conclusion: In a case of painless and progressive neck swelling, lymphangioma should be considered as a differential diagnosis despite the fact that they occur rarely in adults and appropriate treatment should be started as soon as possible to prevent pressure symptoms due to the progressive growth.
