囊性淋巴管瘤是一种罕见的良性先天性淋巴系统畸形。它通常出现在童年时期,很少出现在年轻人中。它的管理缺乏共识,其预后因位置而异。我们报告了一例患有慢性左外侧宫颈肿胀的年轻成年人的宫颈囊性淋巴管瘤。检查显示颈动脉高度肿胀,非脉动,并且可以传递。影像学检查提示囊性淋巴管瘤。组织病理学证实了诊断。病人接受了硬化治疗,然后是手术切除.我们的病例说明了年轻成人中罕见的宫颈囊性淋巴管瘤,旨在提高对这种罕见实体的认识,并提供有关其在成人患者中的诊断和治疗的文献见解。
Cystic lymphangioma is a rare benign congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. It usually presents in childhood and rarely in young adults. Its management lacks consensus, and its prognosis varies depending on the location. We report a case of cervical cystic lymphangioma in a young adult with chronic left lateral cervical swelling. Examination revealed a high jugulocarotid swelling, non-pulsatile, and transilluminable. Radiographic exploration suggested a cystic lymphangioma. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent a sclerotherapy session, followed by surgical excision. Our case illustrates a rare presentation of cervical cystic lymphangioma in a young adult and aims to increase awareness of this rare entity and provide literature insights into its diagnosis and treatment in adult patients.
