printer friendly CYSTIC HYGROMA home how we can help medical information index of conditions ... how you can help Did you find this page helpful? yes no Cystic Hygromas are non-malignant malformations of lymphatic vessels, usually occurring around the head and neck region. They are usually evident by 3 years of age. They may be single or multiple. If they are large they may be detected on antenatal ultrasound scans. They are usually slow-growing and may spontaneously resolve or reduce in size. Rapid growth does occasionally occur if there is internal bleeding into the cysts or if there is a complicating infection. Large cysts present at birth may necessitate a tracheostomy if there is pressure on the airway, though this is rare. Small cysts may not require any specific treatment except to wait and see how they develop. Larger cysts which continue to grow may need to be actively treated. Laser treatment to cystic hygromas in the mouth can help to reduce their bulk to help eating. Surgical reduction of these lesions in either the mouth or neck may also be helpful. An alternative treatment has been to use an attenuated bacteria (OK432) as an injection into the cysts, which causes a local sclerosing reaction which may help to reduce the size of the lesions. Inheritance patterns No hereditary association has been identified Prenatal diagnosis In some cases the condition has been diagnosed through ultrasound scanning while in others it has remained undetected. This is because there is a wide variation in the extent of the condition which ranges from a small growth on the neck to a very extensive mass of growths.

Cystic hygromas are anomalies of the lymphatic system characterized by single or multiple cysts within the soft tissues, usually involving the neck. Incidence: Cystic hygroma's were found in 1 in 200 spontaneously aborted fetuses with crown-rump length greater than 3 cm. Explanation: A congenital malformation resulting from the so called jugular lymphatic obstruction sequence, and is due to a lack of communication between the cervical lymphatic vessels and the jugular venous system. This is a lethal anomaly that has long been recognized in aborted fetuses, often associated with generalized hydrops. However, if a communication between the two systems occurs before fetal death, the hygroma may regress leaving redundant skin folds in the neck(pterygium colli).

It occurs most commonly in the head and neck area and often appears as a soft bulge under the skin. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top This condition is a congenital (present before birth) abnormality caused by embryonic lymphatic tissues. Cystic hygromas are abnormal growths arising from these tissues. Symptoms Return to top A common symptom is a neck mass noted at birth, or discovered later in an infant after an upper respiratory tract infection. Signs and tests Return to top Chest X-ray Ultrasound CT scan Treatment Return to top Treatment involves complete removal of the abnormal tissue whenever possible. However, cystic hygromas can often invade other neck structures, making this impossible. In these cases, other treatments have been attempted with only limited success. These include injection of sclerosing agents, steroids, chemotherapy agents, and radiation therapy. Expectations (prognosis) Return to top The outlook is good if surgery can totally remove the abnormal tissue. In cases where complete removal is not possible because of involvement of neighboring nerves or blood vessels, recurrence is common.

Cystic Hygroma Frank H Miller, MD Faye C Laing, MD June 8, 1994 Presentation This case from 1992 was a routine prenatal ultrasound examination. Imaging Findings Ultrasound Examination Ultrasound shows a large cystic mass ( arrows ) posterior to the fetal neck. The mass is anechoic and contains a septation ( arrow Differential Diagnosis The differential diagnosis for neck masses includes encephalocele, meningomyelocele, and teratoma. Teratomas are uncommon and are generally solid. Encephaloceles have associated calvarial abnormalities and contain brain tissue. Meningomyeloceles are uncommon in the cervical region and have associated spine abnormalities. Diagnosis Cystic hygroma Discussion Cystic hygromas, which usually occur in the neck, are most likely due to abnormal lymphatic development. Approximately half of these fetuses have monosomy X (Turner syndrome), while 10-15% of cases have trisomy 18, 21 or 13. Cystic hygromas are midline, posterior, septated, cystic masses without associated bone defects. They frequently contain a characteristic appearing midline nuchal ligament. References 1.
