Article Abstract
An unusual case of fetal lymphangioma diagnosed before delivery is reported in a second trimester pregnant woman. The lymphangioma was suspected at 28 weeks on the basis of the ultrasound appearances and progression of the lesions with advancing gestation. MRI was used to evaluate the extent and the tissue characteristics of the lesions. Cytology of the fluid aspirated from the cystic lesions showed abundant lymphocytes and macrophages, confirming the diagnosis of a lymphangioma. The parents opted for a pregnancy termination because of the rapid growth of the lesions and the poor prognosis. It is suggested that the combination of these tests could enable the early diagnosis of these tumours at a stage when the lesion is relatively limited and accessible to therapy in utero.

Lymphangioma causing pain during pregnancy is not widely reported, but surgical treatment was performed in each of the reported cases. In our patient, lesions arose in the retroperitoneal cavity and caused intense pain from 17 weeks of gestation. However, surgical treatment was considered difficult because of the location of the lesion.

Article Synopsis
- * In a study involving 215 pregnant women, CMA identified chromosomal abnormalities in 13% of cases, while WES detected single-gene variants in 34.3% of fetuses that had negative karyotype and CMA results.
- * The findings showed a higher incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the CH group (82.9%) compared to the NT thickening group (28.2%),

Fetal cervical tumors are a life-threatening condition if proper diagnosis and perinatal care are inadequate. The most common causes of fetal cervical masses are teratomas and lymphangiomas. Less common tumors may obstruct the fetal airway due to cervical compression.

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of chromosomal anomalies in fetuses affected by increased nuchal translucency(iNT >99Th centile), cystic hygroma (CH) and cases progressing to fetal hydrops (NIHF) in order to correlate this result to prognosis and perinatal fetal outcomes, improving patient's counseling.
Methods: From January 2020 to December 2023, first trimester screening according to FMF criteria were performed in "Maternal fetal medicine Unit" of Foggia's hospital. We studied and collected clinical data of fetuses affected by nuchal translucency >99th centile (iNT), CH and cases progressing to Fetal Hydrops (non-immune fetal hydrop, NIFH).
