The purpose of this study was to outline the natural course of neonatal lymphangioma and the results of surgical excision and other treatment options. In a retrospective study, 29 neonates diagnosed within one month of age with lymphangioma from 1990 to 2001 in one institution were reviewed. The most common presentation was a noticeable mass which occurred in all patients. The most common location was the cervical region (62%). Surgical excision was performed in 25 patients, with a residual or recurrence rate of 40%. Complications included peripheral facial nerve palsy in four patients, wound infection in three, and partial wound necrosis in one. Intralesion injection of sclerosing agent (OK-432) was administered to three patients and the mass was resolved in one of them. The lymphangioma of one patient spontaneously regressed without treatment. In conclusion, neonatal lymphangioma is a rare disease with a low mortality rate. Surgery is effective treatment if the mass is resectable. Intralesion injection of OK-432 may be considered as an alternative therapy if surgery is not passible. |
