    Pan Afr Med J 2017 10;28:128. Epub 2017 Oct 10.
    Service de Dermatologie-Vénéréologie, CHU Ibn Rochd, Université Hassan II, Casablanca, Maroc.
    Macrocystic lymphatic malformations (MLMs) constitute a circumscribed variation in deep lymphangiomas. They are characterized by a rare occurrence in adults, by their rapid expansion and by their frequent occurrence at the level of the cervicofacial region (75%) and axillary region (20%). They rarely occur in lower limbs. Read More

    A review of the management of lymphangiomas.
    Curr Pediatr Rev 2014 ;10(3):238-48
    Princess Margaret Hospital, Roberts Road, Subiaco, Western Australia 6008, Australia.
    Introduction: Lymphangioma is a rare benign cyst caused by congenital malformation of the lymphatic systems that often occurs in the cervicofacial region.

    Treatment of lymphangioma of the face with intralesional bleomycin: case discussion and literature review.
    J Maxillofac Oral Surg 2011 Jun 20;10(2):152-4. Epub 2011 Apr 20.
    Surgical treatment of lymphangioma of the face is a difficult task to achieve due to close vicinity of the lesion to the facial nerve and possibility of scar tissue formation. Inefficient surgical removals generally will give rise to high recurrence rates because of infiltrative and diffuse extension of the lesion. However, complete cure has been described by non-surgical methods. Read More

    Cervicofacial actinomycosis mimicking lymphangioma circumscriptum.
    Indian J Dermatol 2011 May;56(3):321-3
    Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, Grant Medical College and Sir J J Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, India .
    Primary cutaneous actinomycosis caused by Actinomyces israelii occurs most commonly in the cervicofacial area. It commonly presents as "lumpy jaw" with draining sinuses which discharge the characteristic "sulfur granules". A low index of suspicion and a low sensitivity in culturing the organism, due to its fastidious nature often delays the diagnosis. Read More

    Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Service, Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL), Saint-Luc University Hospital, Hippocrate Avenue 10, B-1200, Brussels, Belgium.
    Background: Lymphatic malformations (LM) are rare benign congenital tumors appearing mainly in the head and neck with a considerably variable outcome. A need exists to validate a staging system, taking into account the prognosis of the malformation, including preoperative and postoperative complications, long-term sequelae, and persistence of the disease to improve parental counseling and evaluate the outcome of a surgical treatment of such tumors.

    Cystic hygromas usually present in infancy or early childhood as compressible masses that may rapidly and intermittently enlarge. While they may arise in any anatomic location, hygromas of the head and neck are especially difficult to manage since enlargement may cause serious sequela such as airway obstruction, feeding difficulties, and speech pathology. Complete extirpation of these lesions is often impossible, and recurrence rates are accordingly high. Read More

To resolve diagnostic and therapeutic problems related to these rare lesions it is essential that their etiopathogenic bases be understood. Auriculobranchial cysts and fistulae present clinical symptoms (cervical, parotid, auricular) that are only poorly evidenced and are related mainly to infection. Read More
