A Rare Case of Cervical Cystic Lymphangioma in a 32 Year Old Lady - The Case Report
Dr. V. Vishnu Ram, Dr. R. Ashmitha Charithra
Abstract: Cystic lymphangioma (lymph cyst) is rare in adults. Most cases occur in childhood in the head and neck region due to the congenital obstruction of developing lymphatic vessels. Here we report a 32 year old female patient who came to our outpatient department with a left sided painless cervical swelling for 1 year duration. Ultrasonogram and CECT neck were done. Clinical and radiological findings were equivocal and the cyst was surgically excised. Pathologically, the cyst was found to be lined with cuboidal epithelium with lymphocytic infiltration. Hence, diagnosed as cystic lymphangioma. Being a rare pathology, with this article, we document cystic lymphangioma in an adult and highlight its importance in the differential diagnosis of cervical masses in adults.
