%X Hygromas arise in the sites of primitive lymphatic lakes, on the floor of the mouth, under the jaw, in the neck and in the axillae, but they can occur virtually anywhere in the body. Their occurrence on the chest wall is very rare and they progressively grow with age infiltrating into the local tissues, insinuating lymphatic pseudopods and form cysts in and around muscle fibers and nerves, making them difficult and hazardous to remove. Here, we have reported 2 cases of cystic hygroma of chest wall in children
