A rare find: Axillary cystic hygroma in a 2-month-old male child

Cystic hygromas are the most frequent kind of lymphangioma, appearing at birth or in early infancy. They are congenital lymphatic drainage system anomalies that frequently occur in the neck, clavicle, and axilla. They are most typically observed in young newborns or on prenatal ultrasounds, and depending on the anatomical placement, they may obstruct the airway. The optimal treatment is complete surgical excision; nonetheless, there is a steady shift to sclerosant therapy. The most common causes of surgical intervention are respiratory distress, infection, and cosmetic concerns. We are describing a rare case of axillary cystic hygroma in a 2-month-old male newborn that was treated surgically.
