Abstract

Objective: Fetal cystic hygroma is a rare congenital malformation of the lymphatic system, characterized by the formation of a multilocular cystic mass in different parts of the fetal body. Expectant management, aspiration, surgery and the use of sclerosing agents are the current treatment options available today. Herein, we discussed a case of fetal axillary cystic hygroma with its antenatal follow-up and successful postnatal treatment with sclerotherapy. Case: In this report, we present a case of fetal axillary cystic hygroma diagnosed antenatally at 32nd weeks of gestation followed by full-term delivery in a 30-year-old woman. During postnatal follow up, bleomycin sclerotherapy was performed. The result was excellent with good cosmetic result.
