| Abstract |
|
Cystic hygroma is a true, benign, congenital multi-cystic tumor. It is thought to be arised from failure of the lymphatic system to communicate with the venous system. Frequently it occurs at birth, and it is found most commonly in the neck as painless and fluctuant mass.
For many years, surgical excision has been considered as the treatment of choice. However, excision of tumors, if incomplete, may readily be followed by wound infection and recurrence. Bleomycin given by local injection has drawn attention as an efficacious nonsurgical measure against residual or recurrent tumors.
In 4 cases we administered bleomycin to the patients after tapping of the cyst by aspiration with a puncture needle. There was no serious side effect with bleomycin injection and the size of the mass has become reduced in all 4 cases. |
