Abstract
Lymphangiomas, or cystic hygromas, are congenital malformations of lymphatic channels and are not uncommon in children, but they are rarely found in adults. They are soft, single or multiloculated masses, and sometimes multiple.
We report a rare case of multiple lymphangiomas arising in the right lateral neck of an adult. The lymphangiomas were situated in the lateral neck of a 20-year-old female. Lesion sizes ranged from smaller than 1cm to 4.5cm. The MRI showed multiloculated cystic masses. The final diagnosis was made with exploratory biopsy.
