Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Pathology
  • Surgery

Background:

  • Cystic lymphangiomas are benign congenital malformations of lymphatic vessels.
  • They typically occur in children and are rare in adults.
  • Cervical location is common, but traumatic etiology in adults is highly unusual.

Observation:

  • An adult male presented with a neck mass.
  • The mass was diagnosed as a cystic lymphangioma.
  • A history of trauma to the cervical region was noted.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates a traumatic cervical cystic lymphangioma in an adult.
  • This presentation challenges the typical age and etiology associated with this condition.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of cystic lymphangiomas.
  • It underscores the need for thorough patient history, including trauma, when evaluating adult neck masses.
  • Further research may be warranted to understand the pathogenesis of traumatic cystic lymphangiomas in adults.
