Cystic Hygroma In Children: A Report Of 126 Cases

Additional Notes

Radiotherapy has no place in management. The natural history of lymphangiomas has not been studied extensively. Spontaneous regression is not given credence by most authors. We think that this notion should be re-examined. In our series, we have had two cases of spontaneous regression. Both patients were seen at the neonatal period; one had a fairly large cystic hygroma arising from the right supraclavicular fossa, the other had an even bigger one on the right side of the neck. Both tumors regressed spontaneously.
