PHILIPPINES – APRIL 8, 2026 Disturbing footage from the Philippines shows a child, Milan, affected by a disease called cystic hygroma. It is a congenital benign malformation of the lymphatic system. In practice, it manifests as large fluid-filled cysts. It most commonly affects the head and facial area, but it can also appear under the arms or elsewhere on the body. Treatment consists of surgical removal and chemical closure of the cysts (sclerotherapy). Although in countries with good healthcare children affected by this disease have a relatively good chance of a normal life, in poor countries money is often the deciding factor.
