[Therapeutic strategy for cervicofacial lymphangioma in children].
The authors report a series of 22 cervicofacial lymphagiomas treated from 1984 to 1990, and try to define a therapeutic strategy. In 11 cases, facial, laryngeal or pharyngeal extension was observed, and 1 cas showed mediastinal extension. These cases are not easily treated, and it is impossible to perform complete surgery, thus leading to recurrence. Tracheotomy was necessary in two cases. In 5 cases, the extension was limited to the cervical area and surgical exeresis was considered complete. Sclerosing injections gave variable results.
