What is Cystic Hygroma?

Cystic Hygroma (also known as a lymphangioma) is a benign but potentially progressive condition caused by abnormal development of the lymphatic vessels, leading to a collection of fluid-filled sacs. It is most commonly detected at birth or within the first two years of life, although prenatal diagnosis is also possible via ultrasound.

  • Side of the neck (most frequent)

  • Under the chin or armpits

  • Around the face or tongue

  • Occasionally in the chest or limbs

Symptoms and Presentation

  • Soft, painless swelling that may increase with crying or respiratory illness

Diagnosis in Ghaziabad

  • Physical examination by pediatric surgeon

Treatment Options

We provide a range of treatment options depending on the size, location, and symptoms:

1. Sclerotherapy

  • A non-surgical technique where a special solution is injected to shrink the cysts.

  • Minimally invasive and often used as a first-line treatment.

2. Surgical Excision

  • Recommended for large, infected, or recurring cysts.

  • Our pediatric surgeons carefully remove the cyst to minimize recurrence and preserve surrounding structures.

3. Combined Approach

  • Some cases may need a mix of surgery and sclerotherapy for complete resolution.
