Abstract:
Primary cervical Lymphoceles are rare lesions, with very few cases reported in literature. Whereas, acquired cervical lymphoceles have been reported after head and neck surgery or trauma. We report a case of a 76-year-old elderly female, who was referred with a 5-year history of spontaneous painless swelling left side of the neck, with pronounced increase in size in the past 2 months, measuring around 8x7 cm. There were no history of head and neck surgery and trauma. FNAC revealed matured lymphocytes with cystic macrophages in background of proteinaceous material suggestive of benign cystic lymphangioma. CECT neck showed sharply defined non-enhancing cystic mass with no obvious perceptible wall, occupying the dead space behind ipsilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle in left supraclavicular fossa. Surgical excision of lymphocele was done and HPE confirmed the diagnosis of Cystic Lymphangioma. Primary cervical lymphoceles should be considered as extremely rare differential diagnosis of left supraclavicular masses in adults. The classical triad of history, clinical examinations and investigations are employed for diagnosis. Surgical excision of the cyst is advocated as the definitive treatment and to confirm the diagnosis by HPE, in order to prevent complications like spontaneous or traumatic rupture of the cyst.
