Abstract
Cystic hygroma is a special form of lymphangioma. It most often occurs in the neck of children. We observed a 14-year-old male whose chief complaint was a abnormal swelling of the right mandibular angle area. The computerized tomography showed the well-defined nonenhancing cystic mass on right submandibular gland area and anterior triangle of the neck. The histopathologic fidings exhibited the multiloculatedfluid-filled cysts, which are lined a flattened layer of endothelial cells with foci of lymphocytes found lying adjacent to the lining. After evaluation of above findings, the mass was diagnosed as a cystic hygroma in the neck.
