Giant Cervico-Thoracic Cystic Hygroma in a Preterm: A Case Report

Abstract

Cystic hygroma is a benign, painless loculated lymphatic proliferation, which occur due to a combination of sequestration from developing lymphatic system, abnormal budding of the lymphatic system or lack of de¬velopment of the normal connections between venous and lymphatic drainage. We report a case of giant cervico-thoracic cystic hygroma in a preterm neonate with management options and a brief review of litera¬ture.
