Article Abstract

An unusual case of cervical cystic hygroma with laryngeal extension is reported. A patient with acute upper airway obstruction due to a laryngeal lesion was seen 18 years after the original cervical surgery. Maintenance of an adequate airway has required a partial laryngectomy in addition to repeated endoscopic procedures for removal of recurrent disease. The rationale for this therapy is discussed in light of the current literature.

Lymphangiomas are localized multi-cystic malformations of the lymphatic and vascular system, primarily affecting the head and neck regions in children. Orbital lymphangiomas are not considered hamartomas because the orbit does not commonly display lymphatic vessels.
