"aneuploidic: ~65% (range 50-80%) of cystic hygromas can be associated with an aneuploidic abnormality"
"T1: predominantly low signal unless there are haemorrhagic components"
"T2: predominantly high signal"
"T1 C+ (Gd): no enhancement on any component except occasional faint enhancement of rim"
"While these lesions are commonly known as cystic hygromas or cystic lymphangiomas, the most up-to-date terminology from ISSVA refers to them as macrocystic lymphatic malformations 14."
"They occur most commonly in the neck, which is then also termed "nuchal cystic hygroma" (occurs in ~80% of cases) 7 and axilla, with only 10% of cases extending to the mediastinum 2,3 and only 1% confined to the chest 1."
