Assessment of a cervical mass. Is it a matter of concern?

Lymphatic malformations (LM) are vascular malformations derived from congenital errors in vascular development. They are mostly benign, and their diagnosis is usually made more frequently at birth or within the first two years of life. They can be located anywhere on the body, although their most common locations are the head and neck. They are classified as macrocystic, microcystic and mixed, according to their anatomy. Regarding diagnosis, the majority of the lesions are detectable through physical examination, and the imaging tests that allow completing and guiding the diagnosis are ultrasound and MRI. Regarding treatment, there are no established protocols for the therapeutic approach to this type of injuries. Generally, individualized treatments are performed with therapies such as laser, radiotherapy, local sclerotherapy, or surgery, although conservative treatment is increasingly advocated, especially in asymptomatic lesions.
