Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cystic lymphangioma is also called cystic hygroma, and it usually appears in the cervico-facial and axillary regions. It is usually apparent at birth and 90% of the cases appear at the end of second year. We have experienced a 64 year-old-male who had a large cystic lymphangioma in the left posterior chest wall. Surgical excision was done, and his postoperative course was uneventful. He has been well for two years postoperatively.
