Abstract
|
|
|
The materials in this report were based on 22 cases of cystic hygroma which were treated in this
surgical department of the Presbyterian Hospital from January 1, 1961 to August 31, 1971.
We also reviewed medical literatures, related to cystic hygroma. All cases were confirmed histopat
hologically.
The following results were obtained.
1. Incidence of the cystic hygroma was frequent in infants (73%), and rare in above 35 years
of age (only 3 cases). The sex ratio was 1.2 for male to one for female.
2. The cardinal symptom and sign was palpable cysic mass in all cases.
3. The location of tumor was frequent in order as followings: posterior triangle of the neck in
25%, submandibular in 17%, supraclavicular, axillar, anterior chest in 12.5%, respectvely, flanks in
8.3%, respectively, and upper arms in 4.2%. The location ratio was 1.2 for right to one for left.
The most of them were located in the neck (15 cases).
4. The diagnosis of the cystic hyxgroma was relatively easy by previous history of tumor, clinical
symptoms and signs, and physical examination.
5. The radical excision of the tumor was treatment of choice.
