Foregut cystic developmental malformations are rare developmental anomalies. It is important to diagnose the diseases and manage them properly because these cysts may generate feeding or respiratory difficulties depending on the size and location of the lesions. A newborn was referred for a congenital cervical swelling to our clinic on the second day of his life. Neck SONO and MRI showed an about 6cm sized cystic mass at left submandibular area. Aspirations and sclerotherapies were done repeatedly due to recurred cystic mass. Under the suspicious of cystic hygroma, the mass and submandibular gland were excised. Histologically, it was a benign cyst including gastrointestinal and bronchogenic mucosa and pancreatic tissue. Foregut cyst was suggested for the final diagnosis and the patient was discharged at 9 days after the operation without a complication. He has visited our out-patient department. Although several image studies have been introduced to find out foregut cyst, it is difficult to go through differential diagnosis because of similarity of other benign tumor. Further studies for early diagnosis of cervical foregut cyst are needed for preventing possible related problems.

Splenic cystic lesion is uncommon in children, and cystic lymphangioma of the spleen has not been reported in Korean pediatric patients. Here we report a case of cystic lymphangioma arising from the spleen in a 16 year-old male. The patient presented with left flank pain for 5 days after blunt trauma to the same site. On physical examination, left abdominal tenderness and a palpable spleen were noted. Abdominal ultrasound and MRI revealed multiple septated macro-cystic mass abutting to the spleen medially, suggestive of cystic lymphangioma of the spleen. Laparotomy revealed a 20 cm sized cyst in the spleen, and 2,000mL of dark-brownish fluid was aspirated from the cyst. Splenectomy was performed. Pathological examination revealed the cystic lymphangioma. Post-operative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged at 7 days after surgery.

중피낭종은 심막체벽낭종, 스프링워터낭종, 장막낭종 등 여러 가지 이름으로 명명되고 있다. 대부분의 중피낭종은 심낭의 기형으로 부터 발생 된다고 하나, 본 증례는 늑막기형에서 발생된 아주 희귀한 중피낭종이므로 조직학적으로 특수 염색을 통하여 확진하게 되었다. 본 증례는 64세 여자 환자로서 입원 당시 우측 목 부위에 통증 없는 낭성 종괴가 만져져 외래를 통하여 내원케 되었다. 컴퓨터 단층촬영상 종격동 림프관종이라는 진단하에 수술을 시행하여 낭성종괴를 완전 절 제 하였다. 수술후 절제된 조직소견 결과 종격동 중피낭종이 확진 되었으며 수술후 환자는 큰 후유증 없이 완치되어 퇴원 하였다.
