ABSTRACT
Cystic hygroma are benign tumors in the early childhood mainly manifesting in the head and neck region ..Cystic hygromas manifesting in elderly patients have not been reported in the literature so for. We report a rare presentation of cervical cystic hygroma in an adult male (58 yrs.), with sudden appearance and rapid progression to a relatively big size (10 cm x 12 cm) invloving superior mediastinum within a span of six months, giving a clue to malignant cystic pathology. Investigations proved the diagnosis of cystic hygroma. Transcervical excision was achieved with the help of cardiothoracic surgeons. The management of the cystic hygroma is being discussed.
