Abstract

Cystic hygroma is a rare, endothelial lined cystic lesion of lymphatic origin which is encountered most often in children, usually at birth or early in life. The tumor is usually found in the neck and axilla. It is a soft, nontender, semifluctuant freely movable tumor of varying size filled with lymphatic fluid. The mass is sometimes pedunculated and is uaually multilocular, althouh it may be monolocular. The cystic hygroma of the right axilla and the upper arm, in a 4 month-old female infant, is presented with a review of the literature.
