PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy of percutaneous sclerotherapy with an alcoholic solution of zein in lymphangiomas in pediatric patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fourteen patients with macrocystic and mixed lymphangiomas were treated with use of Ethibloc as a sclerosing agent. The procedure was performed with ultrasonographic and/or fluoroscopic guidance. Follow-up clinical and sequential computed tomographic examinations were performed to evaluate regression of the lesion. RESULTS: Regression was excellent in nine (64%) of the 14 lesions: Regression was complete in four lymphangiomas and was to less than 5% of the initial volume in five. Satisfactory results were obtained in the remaining five (36%) of 14 lesions. The most frequent complication was leakage of Ethibloc without important sequelae in 10 of the 14 lymphangiomas. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous sclerotherapy with Ethibloc was a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of macrocystic and mixed lymphangiomas. |
