Abstract
Two cases of cervico-mediastinal lymphangioma ppesenting in adults are reported. In one the lesion originated in the mediastinum and only when advanced showed extension into the neck. The other was associated with a cervical cystic hygroma. Both wwer relieved by one-stage excision. Although they are benign, the tendency of these lesions is to become progressively larger, and to infiltrate between the vital structures in the neck and mediastinum. These features, and the importance of early surgery, are illustrated by the patients we now report.Keywords
