Résumé

Le lymphangiome kystique est une tumeur vasculaire, bénigne, rare, d’origine lymphatique. La forme principale est représentée par le lymphangiome cervicofacial congénital de l’enfant. Sa pathogenèse est inconnue. Cette malformation congénitale du système lymphatique est composée de formations kystiques développées à partir d’endothélium lymphatique et remplies de lymphe et de sang. L’atteinte des voies aérodigestives supérieures (VADS) peut conduire à des complications graves, mettant en jeu le pronostic vital.

Nous présentons trois observations de lymphangiomes kystiques de diagnostic postnatal. Le traitement était chirurgical dans tous les cas, consistant en une exérèse complète de la tumeur et le diagnostic confirmé par l’examen histopathologique de la pièce opératoire. Après un recul d’au moins 12 mois, aucune récidive locale n’a été observée; cependant la surveillance reste de mise.

Abstract

Cystic lymphangioma is a vascular tumor, rare, benign, with lymphatic origin. The most common form is represented by the cervicofacial congenital lymphangioma of the child. Its pathogenesis is unknown. This congenital malformation of the lymphatic system is composed of cystic formations developed from lymphatic endothelium and filled with lymph and blood. Involvement of the upper aero digestive tract (UADT) can lead to serious complications, involving life-threatening.

We present three cases of cystic lymphangiomas with postnatal diagnosis. Treatment was surgical in all cases, consisting of a complete resection of the tumor and the diagnosis confirmed by histopathological examination of the surgical specimen. After 12 months, no local recurrence was observed; however, monitoring is still required.
