Background/objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of treatment with OK-432 of lymphangioma patients. Patients and methods. During 12 years (1995–2006) we treated 26 children for lymphangiomas with OK-432. Their age ranged from 6 months to 15 years. Fourteen patients had cystic lymphangioma and 12 had cavernous lymphangioma. Results. Thirteen patients with cystic lymphangioma recovered. One patient was operated on because of unsuccessful therapy, 3 patients from the 12 with cavernous lymphangiomas had a total shrinkage, 6 patients had a marked shrinkage and 3 a slight shrinkage. Conclusions. Intralesional injection of OK-432 is an effective and safe treatment for lymphangiomas, especially for cystic lesions. |
