  Abstract
Cystic hygroma is a benign lymphatic malformation representing 5% to 6% of all benign tumors and 1% of all tumors (benign and malignant). Most (90%) cystic hygromas will manifest by age two, although there are reported cases in the literature of cystic hygroma presenting in adults. The majority (75%) involves the neck and is termed cystic hygroma colli. This review provides information on the etiology, pathophysiology, prevalence, and diagnostic imaging of this rare but potentially fatal condition.
