Lymphangioma. A long-term follow-up study.

M Saijo, I R Munro, K Mancer

    Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |December 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Surgical excision is the preferred treatment for lymphangioma. Palliative treatments like aspiration may lead to regression in cystic forms, but spontaneous regression is not confirmed in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical research
    • Pediatric surgery
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Lymphangioma is a congenital malformation of lymphatic vessels.
    • Treatment options for lymphangioma include surgery, aspiration, incision and drainage, and radiation.
    • The potential for spontaneous regression of lymphangioma remains unclear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of various treatments for lymphangioma.
    • To investigate the possibility of spontaneous regression in lymphangioma.
    • To differentiate lymphangioma from primary lymphedema based on clinical and pathological criteria.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 177 patients with lymphangioma treated between 1927 and 1964.
    • Follow-up examination of 49 patients aged 8 to 41 years.
    • Review of treatment results including surgical excision, aspiration, incision and drainage, and radiation.

    Main Results:

    • No histologically confirmed lymphangiomas showed spontaneous regression.
    • Two unconfirmed cases exhibited partial regression.
    • Extensive surgery is recommended; palliative treatments can lead to regression in cystic lymphangioma.

    Conclusions:

    • Extensive surgical excision is the treatment of choice for lymphangioma.
    • Palliative treatments may induce regression in unilocular or bilocular cystic lymphangioma.
    • Clear clinical and pathological criteria are needed to distinguish lymphangioma from primary lymphedema.
