The majority of lesions that present in the neck consist of chylous fistulae and are secondary to neck surgery. Cysts of the thoracic duct are very rare and are usually reported as a disease entity of the mediastinum. There are only two reported cases in the literature of thoracic duct cysts occurring in the neck. The third case of a thoracic duct cyst located primarily in the neck is reported. Thoracic duct cysts in the neck must be differentiated from other cysts of the neck, because not recognizing the inferior attachment to the thoracic duct, may result in the disastrous consequence of a chylothorax. Diagnosis can easily be made by fine\u2010needle aspiration with biochemical analysis. Computerized axial tomography (CAT) is useful in defining the anatomic boundaries. A weakness in the wall of the thoracic duct, either on a congenital or degenerative basis, has been postulated as the etiology. The natural history of these lesions remains unknown. Smaller lesions may be followed at routine intervals. Larger lesions should be surgically removed because of the possible complications that may ensue as a result of traumatic rupture or inflammation. \u00a9 1992 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.2880140615","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,21]],"date-time":"2007-02-21T21:47:03Z","timestamp":1172094423000},"page":"502-505","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Thoracic duct cyst: An unusual supraclavicular mass"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Mark K.","family":"Wax","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Murray E.","family":"Treloar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/0007-1285-59-708-1228"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1742-1241.1965.tb04705.x","article-title":"Cystic dilution of the thoracic duct","volume":"19","author":"Barlow D","year":"1965","journal-title":"Br J Clin Pract"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","first-page":"174","article-title":"The age of topical tetracycline in the management of persistent chylous fistulae","volume":"16","author":"Kassel RN","year":"1987","journal-title":"J Otolargngol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.5540900321"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019459988108900413"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM195004132421502"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"856","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(19)37855-9","article-title":"Thoracic duct cyst of the mediastinum","volume":"79","author":"Tsuchiya R","year":"1980","journal-title":"J Thorac Surg"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.78.4.652"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM196206212662507"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","first-page":"57","article-title":"A case report of thoracic duct cyst with generalized neurofibroma","volume":"21","author":"Mizumura S","year":"1968","journal-title":"J Thorac Surg"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_2","first-page":"365","article-title":"Supradiaphragmatic cyst of the thoracic duct","volume":"147","author":"Fernandez BB","year":"1955","journal-title":"Ill Med J"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.161.2.3763916"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_14_2","first-page":"955","article-title":"Variations in the terminal portion of the human thoracic duct","volume":"73","author":"Greenfield J","year":"1956","journal-title":"Am J Surg"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_15_2","first-page":"135","article-title":"A study of the gross microscopic and functional anatomy of the thoracic duct and the lymphovenous junction","volume":"68","author":"Elzawahry MD","year":"1983","journal-title":"Int Surg"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003072-198607000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1946.01230060456009"}],"container-title":["Head &amp; Neck"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fhed.2880140615","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/hed.2880140615","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,23]],"date-time":"2023-10-23T08:36:24Z","timestamp":1698050184000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/hed.2880140615"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1992,11]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1992,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/hed.2880140615"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/hed.2880140615","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1043-3074","1097-0347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1043-3074","type":"print"},{"value":"1097-0347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1992,11]]}}}
