We report a substantial axillary lymphangioma in a fetus delivered at 38 weeks of gestation. Detailed fetal survey at 20 weeks revealed a 5.45 × 3.72 cm nonvascular cystic axillary structure without other malformations; amniocentesis was negative. Serial surveillance was performed throughout the pregnancy. A male infant weighing 3000 g with a 16 × 12 × 9 cm septated cystic mass arising from the left axilla was delivered via cesarean section. The newborn period was complicated by cellulitis overlying the mass and interval cystic hemorrhage requiring sclerotherapy and subsequent excision. Nonnuchal lymphangiomas may be etiologically distinct entities. The prognostic factors include anatomic location, presence of septa, and association with other congenital abnormalities. A thorough evaluation, multidisciplinary approach, and close surveillance should be undertaken to optimize neonatal outcomes.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum, one of the common forms of lymphangioma, can be either congenital or acquired. Various acquired conditions can lead to its causation and one of the causes might be untreated hidradenitis suppurativa. So, this report highlights the need of early interventions for hidradenitis suppurativa as lymphangioma circumscriptum can be one of its consequences later in life.

Introduction And Importance: Lymphangiomas are rare benign lymphatic malformations, typically affecting the head, neck, or axillary regions, with abdominal cystic lymphatic malformations (CLM) being particularly uncommon in adults. Abdominal CLM account for less than 5 % of all lymphangiomas and 7 % of all abdominal cystic lesions in adults with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 250,000. These lesions are commonly found by accident during imaging investigations and are asymptomatic.

Article Synopsis
- Cervical lymphangiomas are rare growths from lymphatic vessels, primarily found in the neck of children but can occur in adults, as highlighted by this study of 15 adult patients.
- The study found that 73.3% of the patients were female, and all cases were unilaterally located, with tumor sizes ranging from 6 cm to over 15 cm.
- All tumors were successfully surgically removed, with no recurrences after 6 months, emphasizing the need for a collaborative approach among healthcare professionals for effective treatment and management.

Article Synopsis
- Lymphangiomas are benign tumors usually found in children, but rare cases in adults, particularly in the colon, can lead to complications like intestinal blockage (intussusception).
- A 40-year-old woman experienced severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ileocecal intussusception due to a cecal lymphangioma, leading to emergency surgery.
- During laparoscopic surgery, a cystic mass was found to be a non-malignant cecal lymphangioma; the patient recovered without complications and highlights the need to consider colonic intussusception in adult lymphangioma cases.
