title: Congenital lung cyst.
abstract: This case report describes a congenital lung cyst presenting as a brilliantly transilluminant mass in the left supraclavicular region. Clinically, it was mistakenly thought to be a cervical cystic hygroma with intrathoracic extension. X-ray and CT scan of the neck and chest confirmed the diagnosis. The lung cyst was treated by surgical excision with excellent results.
