    Abstract:
    Cystic hygromas are congenital malformations affecting the lymphatic system. These are rare benign dyssembryoplastic lesions mainly affecting the head and neck, in particular the posterior triangle of the neck. They usually occur during childhood and exceptionally in adults. We here report a clinical case of cystic hygroma of the neck in a 22-year old subject. Les lymphangiomes kystiques sont des malformations congénitales portant sur le système lymphatique. Ce sont des lésions bénignes dysembryoplasiques rares prédominant nettement au niveau de la région de la tête et du cou plus particulièrement dans le triangle cervical postérieur. Ils surviennent généralement durant l'enfance et sont exceptionnels chez l’adulte. Nous rapportons une observation clinique d’un lymphangiome kystique du cou chez un sujet de 22 ans.
