Not really. It just made me wonder, because when people raise a question many years later, there is often some triggering cause for concern: a physical change, something they read or some other person told them, that type of thing. Didn't mean to offend.

I started wondering- since I had a cystic hygroma (a lymphatic malformation), what are the possibilities of having a malformation somewhere else? Illogical?
No offence taken at all. I just found out about a week ago that it was cystic hygroma. I knew I was born with a cyst but had no idea what it was. I have wondered my whole life, so I sent away for my medical transcripts from the surgery to excise the cyst and learned from that it was C.H.. At that point, my question stated above came into play.
I also have looked at various sites on the internet about it and it sounded serious. Wasn't sure of any long term possible health concerns to be aware of.
The problems are of an acute nature, at the time of surgery. By now you should be OK. Take care. Dr. R
Lee:
Cystic hygroma is a benign congenital cyst which is not associated with anything internal. After so many years, I have to wonder why you would ask. . .
Good luck.
