This was treated initially by aspiration, for diagnostic purposes. Investigation suggested that surgery would be challenging. A review of the literature demonstrated success with OK-432 in the treatment of this condition, although primarily in the paediatric population. This patient was successfully treated thus, and at the time of writing remained symptom free. A suggested management plan is outlined.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec id="S0022215107001132_sec4"><jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title><jats:p>Treatment with OK-432 is useful in the management of cystic lymphangiomas in adults and should be considered as first line treatment.</jats:p></jats:sec>
