title: [Cystic lymphangioma of the neck in adults. Contribution of ultrasonography and computed tomography. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Authors present a case of cystic lymphangioma of the neck in an adult patient. Cystic lymphangioma of the neck can simulate other benign lesions and occasionally extend into the mediastinum. Using computed tomography and ultrasound, the authors are able to confirm the suspected diagnosis, exclude other diagnostic considerations, and demonstrate absence of mediastinal extension. Opportunity of such diagnosis in adult is no frequent.
