ABSTRACT
The most common lymphatic malformations are cystic
hygroma. Lymphangiomas are a congenital anomaly of the lymphatic
system and are frequently seen in the first decade of life. Although abnormal
development of the lymphatic system is often responsible for its
etiology, it has been reported that in some cases, acquired factors
(trauma, infection, iatrogenic, neoplastic) are effective. In this case report,
a 45-year-old male patient presented to our outpatient clinic with
swelling on the left side of the neck. In the patient's history, it was
learned that the swelling had been present gradually for two to three
years, there was no history of infection, trauma or surgical intervention
in the swelling area, and there was no additional feature other than
smoking and alcohol use. A preliminary diagnosis of cystic hygroma
was considered in further examination and examinations. Surgical excised
specimen was consistent with cystic hygroma. The diagnosis and
treatment of our patient was discussed in the light of literature.

ÖZET
Lenfatik malformasyonlar içinde en sık karşılaşılanı kistik higromadır.
Lenfanjiyomlar lenfatik sistemin doğuştan bir anomalisi olup,
sıklıkla hayatın 1. dekadında görülür. Etiyolojisinde sıklıkla lenfatik
sistemin anormal gelişmesi sorumlu olsa da bazı hastalarda sonradan
kazanılmış etmenlerin (travma, enfeksiyon, iyatrojenik, neoplastik) etkili
olduğu bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, 45 yaşındaki erkek olgu, boyun
sol tarafında şişlik şikâyetiyle polikliniğimize başvurdu. Olgunun
anamnezinde şişliğin 2, 3 yıldır var olduğu, yavaş yavaş büyüdüğü, şişliğin
olduğu bölgede herhangi bir enfeksiyon öyküsü, travma veya cerrahi
müdahele olmadığı, sigara ve alkol kullanımı dışında ek bir özellik
olmadığı öğrenildi. Olgunun yapılan ileri tetkik ve incelemelerinde kistik
higroma ön tanısı düşünüldü. Cerrahi olarak eksize edilen spesmenin
patoloji sonuçlarında kistik higroma ile uyumlu geldi. Olgumuzun
tanı ve tedavisi literatür eşliğinde tartışıldı.
