Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cystic hygroma is a congenital lymphatic malformation that typically presents in the neck and axilla. A goiter, which is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, does not present as a cystic structure and thus is not considered a differential diagnosis for cystic hygroma. In contrast, nuchal edema, branchial cleft cyst, and thyroglossal duct cyst are all conditions that can present with neck masses or cystic structures, making them relevant differential considerations.
