Abstract: We report the case of a 28-year-old man who presented in emergency for recurrent drop-attacks. Ultrasound imaging and angio computed tomography revealed a left cervical tumor, and the patient underwent surgery. The diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma was done on the anatomic characteristics of the surgical specimen and the results of the histological study. This is the first reported case of late diagnosis of a cervical cystic lymphangioma revealed by recurrent drops attack.<br /> (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
