The treatment of facial haemangioma by percutaneous injections of sodium tetradecyl sulfate.
Sotradecol--sodium tetradecyl sulfate--is a sclerosing agent which has been used for years in the treatment of varicose veins, haemorrhoids and haemangiomata. Two cases of large haemangioma of the cheek are presented. Because surgical treatment posed many difficulties we decided to treat with sodium tetradecyl sulfate. Treatment was successful.
