We present the clinical case of a fetus with the diagnosis of cervical lymphangioma and review the updated literature on development embryopathy and the management of this entity. It was developed in the Fetal Medicine Unit of the High Risk Gynecology and Obstetrics Service of the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen EsSalud National Hospital, Lima, Peru. We documented the case of a fetus with the diagnosis of cervical lymphangioma evaluated prenatally and successfully managed using the EXIT procedure. Embryology knowledge of the development and prenatal diagnosis of cervical lymphangiomas are of clinical importance in fetal management and prognosis.
