Background : Hygroma coli is a malformation of the lymphatic system in the form of a membrane cyst filled with fluid, limited by the epithelium that is located in the anterolateral or occipito-cervical region. The prenatal diagnosis of cystic hygroma coli by ultrasound is based on an apparently bilateral, mostly symmetrical, and sometimes unilateral cystic structure located in the occipitocervical region. Large hygroma coli can cause pressure on the respiratory tract and digestion, so it requires management as soon as possible.The main treatment modality is surgical excision to remove the cystic lesion. The prognosis of a hygroma coli cyst depends on its size and the action taken because it is rare for cases to experience spontaneous regression.Destination : Reported a case of hygroma colliMethods : Case ReportCase Report : Case 24 years old women with preterm G1P0A0L0 26-27 weeks + Hygroma colli + IUFD + Suspected COVID-19. On ultrasound examination, it was found that BPD =4,71; AC = 15,91; FL = 2,89; EFW = 330 gr; FHR = (-); Cyst = 5,06 x 3,26. The presence of head presentation, IUFD, hygroma colli was found. The patient was planned for labor induction and the progress of labor was followed. Patient provided inform consent that baby was death during pregnancy and need to be labored. The baby was born, weight 300 gr, body length 14 cm and A/S 0/0. Postmortem physical examination revealed findings of hygroma colli infants such membrane cyst filled with fluid that located in the occipito-cervical region. Conclusion: Hygroma colli is a malformation of the lymphatic system and the prognosis or complications depends on the size of cyst. Careful prenatal examination is required in diagnosis and termination of pregnancyKeywords: Hygroma Colli, prenatal diagnosis

Background: Cystic hygroma (cystic lymphangioma) is a malformation of the lymphatic system. It is rare in adults and trauma may be the cause in some cases. Surgical and non-surgical treatment methods have been described in the management of cystic hygroma. Case Report: A 38-year-old woman, known case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), presented a huge cystic formation in the posterior aspect of her thigh following trauma. We treated the patient using a combination of three treatment methods including surgical excision, intra-cavity bleomycin injection, and post-operative use of compression pants. Conclusion: Huge post-traumatic cystic hygroma in adults is rare. By the combination of the above three therapeutic regimens, there was no cystic lesion recurrence after eight months.

Lymphangioma is a rare congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that occur in 1 per 6000 live births. The most common site of lymphangioma is the neck (also named cystic hygroma), accounting for 75% of the cases, and it is strongly related to aneuploidies. Axillary location is very rare and appears not to be associated with chromosomal abnormalities. Tumor growth, fetal anemia secondary to intralesional bleeding, hydrops fetalis and shoulder dystocia are possible obstetric complications of this condition. The prognosis is generally good in the absence of abnormal karyotype, fetal hydrops or extension of the lymphangioma to adjacent tissues. Surgical excision or sclerotherapy are the main treatment choices. The authors present a case of a right fetal axillary lymphangioma and review the literature.

Introduction: Cystic lymphangioma or cystic hygroma is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that manifests as a soft, benign, and painless mass. It originates from remnants of embryonic lymphatic tissue that retains the potential for proliferation. Material and methods: Our retrospective study involved 16 cases of cystic lymphangioma managed between 2017 and 2020. Results: This study included 9 girls and 7 boys with a mean age of 4.2 years. Cystic lymphangioma was visible in 7 cases at birth and in 6 cases before the age of 2 years, and beyond 2 years in 3 cases. The tumor was cervical in 11 cases, including one case of parotid extension, and 02 cases of sub maxillary extension, jugal in one and one case of parotid localization, and one case of lingual localization. Surgical indication was based on clinical examination and imaging in all cases. Excision was considered complete in 12 cases and incomplete in four cases. In three cases, excision was difficult due to adhesion to the internal jugular vein and the carotid bifurcation, base of the tongue in one case and facial nerve in one case. Early complications were, hematoma [one case], lymphorrhea [one case], jugal recurrence [one case] nine months after surgical excision. Conclusion: Cervico-facial cystic lymphangioma is a particular pathology whose management is challenging, complex and multidisciplinary.

Cystic hygroma is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, but injection of a sclerosing agent into the cyst is an alternative procedure. The aim of this study was to review the efficacy of intralesional bleomycin injection in cystic hygroma. This study was carried out in a private clinic in Khulna over a period of 2 years on 7 patients. Bleomycin at a dosage of 0.4-0.6 mg/kg was injected into the cyst and repeated injection was given at an interval of 4-8 weeks. Clinical outcomes were reviewed and analyzed. Seven patients, 4 males and 3 females, aged between one month and 4 years were treated with intralesional bleomycin injections. Complete clinical resolution was obtained in 6 cases (86%). Mass reduction was noted in 1 (14%) patient. Adverse reactions including mild fever, local swelling, redness and pain at the site of injection occurred in 3 cases (43%). These reactions persisted for only a few days. Transient systemic side effect like vomiting noted in one patient. So intralesional bleomycin injection is a safe and effective alternative to the surgical treatment of cystic hygroma.

Adequate Management

We report the case of a 25-year-old man with a maxillary ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma (GCOC). The patient presented to the maxillofacial and head and neck surgery clinic with a growing lump in the left maxilla. Initial workup with CT revealed a cystic lesion in the left upper jaw with associated bone erosion and an enhancing soft-tissue component. Enucleation showed a GCOC associated with a calcifying odontogenic cyst. After the diagnosis was obtained, the patient underwent widening of the first surgical resection. GCOCs are rare odontogenic neoplasms with unspecific clinical and imaging presentation, whose definitive characterisation is based on pathology. Current treatment approaches mainly involve surgical excision, but the prognosis is highly unpredictable due to intertumoral heterogeneity. As tumour recurrences occur in 73% of cases, radical surgery with negative margins is highly recommended. Therefore, it is essential to recognise this entity to offer patients adequate management.

Abstract Background Endometriosis of the uterine body can be manifested as diffuse solid lesions or cystic lesions. The former is common, while the latter is rare, especially for cystic adenomyosis larger than 5 cm. Case presentation A 30-year-old woman was admitted for severe and worsening dysmenorrhea. Ultrasound examination revealed a rare well-circumscribed cystic lesion about 5.5 × 4 × 5.0 cm. CA-125 level was slightly elevated. She accepted laparoscopic surgery and the adenomyotic tissues were excised. The histopathology of the specimen demonstrated the endometrial glands in the walls of cysts and an area of extensive hemorrhage can be seen in the inner wall of cyst. The patient made a good recovery after surgery and her symptoms complete resoluted. Conclusions This is a rare case of a cystic adenomyotic lesion that was treated by laparoscopic surgery.

Epithelial Myoepithelial Carcinoma

Introduction Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the nasal cavity is a rare tumor, and here we describe the first case of EMC of the nasal cavity presenting with epiphora. A case presentation and review of the literature is provided. Methods A case report is described of a 63-year-old man who presented with unilateral epiphora and was found via a thorough history and physical examination to have a nasal tumor. The physical examination consisted of an ocular examination, including probing and irrigation, and a detailed nasal examination (anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy). The nasal examination was prompted by the patient's report of concurrent nasal symptoms during history taking. Immunohistochemistry subsequently identified the nasal tumor as EMC. A literature search was performed to gain insights into similar malignancies of the nasal cavity. Results Eight cases of EMC of the nasal cavity were identified in the literature, none of the patients presented with epiphora. The case presented here resulted in resolution of the patient's symptoms and no evidence of disease after surgical excision. Conclusion Epithelial myoepithelial is a rare salivary gland malignancy that can arise in the nasal cavity. Unilateral epiphora with concurrent nasal symptoms should prompt nasal cavity examination for the possibility of an obstructive tumor.
