 Cystic hygroma is a benign tumour of lymphatic origin that commonly occurs in the neck and presents mostly at birth. A variety of treatment options are available for the treatment of cystic hygroma. However, surgical enucleation of the lesion is the most suitable treatment option. Use of sclerosing agents such as intralesional bleomycin injections with some success rates have also been documented in literature. However, their use is also associated with difficulty in identifying the dissection planes intraoperatively.
