Cystic hygroma (CH) is an uncommon congenital anomaly of the lymphatic channels
that occurs mainly in children. CH is usually found in the cervical, axillary, inguinal, retroperitoneal, or thoracic region. CH is rare in adults, and to the best of our knowledge, there are only three adult case reports in the English literature (searched via PubMed) that discuss the development of CH in the axilla during adulthood. The lesion in our case presented as a soft,
painless, mobile, and transilluminable mass on physical examination. Surgical removal was performed, CH was diagnosed, and the patient recovered uneventfully. |
