Abstract

Head and neck lymphangiomas are congenital malformations which can be a challenge to treat surgically as they tend to defy surgical planes. Sclerotherapy is an alternative treatment. Intralesional OK-432 (Picibanil) induces an intense inflammatory reaction within the cystic space leading to its obliteration. We present our experience of using OK-432 sclerotherapy in treating Nepalese children with head and neck lymphangiomas.
