Lymphatic malformations are due to an abnormality in lymphatic development only rarely present in adults. Their prognosis is better than those of infants. We report 6 cases of lymphatic malformations of head and neck in adults reviewed from 1990 to 2001. The treatment was surgical in 5 cases. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and reccurences are rare.
