Abstract

Background: Traumatic lymphatic cyst, also known as cystic lymphangioma, is a multidisciplinary disease, with congenital lymphatic cysts being more common. Lymphatic cysts lack specific clinical manifestations, and the vast majority of cases are incidentally discovered during auxiliary examinations or surgeries, making diagnosis challenging. Surgery is the most effective treatment for this condition, with a favorable prognosis. Lymphatic cysts caused by lymphatic injury are clinically rare. This study theoretically analyzes the clinical characteristics of lymphatic cysts resulting from lymphatic injury. Objective: To explore the mechanisms by which lymphatic injury leads to lymphatic cyst formation and provide guidance for clinical treatment measures. Methods: The study involves analyzing the principles of lymphatic injury and examining the process of lymphatic cystic transformation and cyst formation. Results: The causes of lymphatic injury include mechanical cutting, thermal energy conduction from electrocautery, needle puncture, and trauma. Conclusion: There are various mechanisms and causes of lymphatic injury, and lymphatic injury is common during surgery. When lymphatic vessels are identified during surgery, they should be managed similarly to blood vessel ligation and disconnection. Lymphatic cysts are prone to recurrence, and complete resection is an effective treatment for this condition. Puncture and subtotal resection have a high recurrence rate.
