Six patients were born with cervical cyst, three patients had symptoms in childhood, and 3 in adolescence. Ten patients underwent modified operation, that is the extracapsular dissection performed under direct vision after open cystic, from July 1998 to March 2008, a patients who had operative procedure in other hospital with recurrence and a 1 year child received local injection of bleomycin A 5. RESULT: Cystic lymphangioma were complete excised in 10 surgical patients, without any complication like nerve injury.
