description Cystic lymphangiomas are rare and benign lymphatic malformations. They often sit in the cervico-facial or axillary region. We report the case of a 31-year-old patient admitted for a left subclavicular mass symptomatic of pain on arm abduction. The CT scan of the chest suggests a cystic lymphangioma adhering to the axillary vascular pedicle. The patient had a complete resection of this mass with a simple postoperative course.
