Abstract
Cervical lymphangioma is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. They are most common in children between the ages of 3 and 5 years and rarely present in adults. It is most often present in the posterior triangle of the neck. The treatment of choice is complete surgical resection, although other treatment alternatives are reported; the most significant being sclerotherapy. We have included six cases with large neck lymphangiomas in the period of 2020–2023. Two lympangioma were located on the left side of neck, one over the midline of neck, one at the right side of the neck, one in the right submandibular space and one at the right side parotid region. All were surgically resected sucessfully. No recurrence was seen in any cases.
