摘要：

Cystic lymphangiomas are relatively uncommon benign tumours of the lymphatic system. These lesions frequently are apparent at birth and more than 90% are detected before the end of the second year of life. More commonly cystic lymphangioma presents as a soft tissue mass in the neck and only rarely does it extend into the mediastinum. Isolated mediastinal lymphangiomas are exceedingly rare and have been reported infrequently. Herein we have reported two cases of mediastinal cystic lymphangioma, one in a child and the other in an adult patient, who were treated successfully by complete surgical excision © 2007 Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons.
