Abstract
This case involves a boy with progressive swelling of the neck diagnosed as Cystic Hygroma by ultrasound and MRI. After an initially wait-and-see approach because of his age and lack of symptoms, increased swelling led to surgical excision, which is preferred over sclerotherapy. After 2 months there was minimal scarring and no recurrence.
