Abstract

Cystic hygroma (lymphangioma) is a benign congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that occurs in infant or children younger than two years of age. Here we present two cases of 52 and 83 years old patients with complaints of axillary and cervical masses. Computerised tomography revealed cystic masses. After total excision of the masses pathological examination revealed cystic lymphangioma. After uneventfull postoperative period patients were discharged and no recurrence occurred since then. The objectives of these reports are to discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis and pathologic findings, and management of this malformation.

Özet

Kistik higroma (lenfanjioma) genellikle hayatın ilk iki yılında ortaya çıkar. Bu konjenital lezyon erişkinlerde nadir bir durumdur. İlk olarak boyun ve aksiller bölgede kitle olarak ortaya çıkan iki hastayı sunuyoruz. Hastalar 52 ve 83 yaşlarındaydı. Bilgisayarlı tomografi kistik kitle olarak rapor edilmişti. Iki hastada da kitleye total eksizyon uygulandı ve patolojik değerlendirmesi kistik lenfanjioma olarak rapor edildi. Postoperatif dönemde herhangi bir komplikasyon gelişmedi ve takiplerinde nükse rastlanılmadı. Erişkinlerdeki kistik higroma hastalığı nın başvuru şekli, patolojisi, tanı ve tedavi yöntemlerini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
