Abstract :
We report the first neonate successfully treated with one-stage complete excision of massive cervicomediastinal lymphangioma producing alarming respiratory distress. Early postoperative course was complicated by refractory bilateral chylothorax, which effectively responded to insertion of external pleuroperitoneal shunts. At the 6-year follow-up, the child remains symptom free and recurrence free. One-stage resection for cervicomediastinal lymphangioma is curative and well tolerated even shortly after birth.
