ABSTRACT: Lymphangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors of lymphatic origin, of unclear
pathogenesis and variable localization. Lymphangiomas are often found in young people
but are exceptional over 50-years-old. Diagnosis is based on clinical and imaging
findings and confirmed by anatomopathological examination of the surgical specimen.
Treatment is surgical, and recurrence is frequent. We report a clinical observation
of a 56-year-old patient who presented with a large cervical mass that had been
evolving for XX years. Treatment was surgical. Pathological examination was in favor
of a cystic lymphangioma. There was no recurrence at 1-year postoperative follow-up.
