ABSTRACT
Cystic hygromas are congenital lymphatic malformations of pediatric age group commonly in head and neck region. These arise from developmental defects in the lymphatic system. In this article we report a case of 15 years old male patient who presented with right supraclavicular swelling. Initial physical examination was followed by Ultrasonography which reported differential diagnosis as lymphatic malformation, cystic thyroid lesion. The histopathological examination of the surgically excised specimen confirmed it to be Cystic hygroma. Hence, histopathology plays an important role in confirming the diagnosis required for optimal management and better prognosis.
