ABSTRACT: The article details the surgical treatment of two infants with cystic lymphangioma, a rare, non-cancerous mass, at Kamenge University Hospital. Both children had a neck mass that was present from birth. The diagnosis was confirmed through a combination of a physical exam and imaging, but the final, certain diagnosis was made after the mass was surgically removed and examined. The operations were successful, and both patients had great recoveries. The authors concluded that surgery is their preferred and most effective treatment option.
