Article information

The treatment of cervicofacial lymphangiomas has been changing in recent years. OK-432 appears to be a relatively safe and effective treatment option for patients of all ages. An intracystic injection of OK-432 produces a local inflammatory reaction, leading to resolution of the lesion. Cosmetically, the outcome is excellent, leaving no lesions on the skin at the injection site, unlike other sclerosing agents. It may thus be considered as the treatment of choice, especially in cases where surgical treatment is associated with the possibility of serious functional or cosmetic side effects.

El tratamiento del linfangioma cervicofacial está cambiando en los últimos años. La solución de OK-432 se presenta como un tratamiento relativamente seguro y efectivo para los pacientes de cualquier edad. La inyección intraquística del OK-432 produce una reacción inflamatoria local que resuelve la lesión. El aspecto estético es excelente, ya que no deja lesiones cutáneas en el lugar de la inyección, a diferencia de otros agentes esclerosantes. Por ello se puede considerar el tratamiento de elección, especialmente en casos en que el tratamiento quirúrgico puede producir serias secuelas funcionales o estéticas.
