[Fibrin adhesive: a new therapeutic alternative in the treatment of cystic lymphangioma].
We present three cases of cystic lymphangioma of the neck, treated with a new therapeutic method which consists of an injection of fibrin adhesive into the lesion following aspiration of the liquid contents of the lymphangioma. Two of the cases had been treated surgically and were faced with the recurrence of the tumor, the aforesaid treatment was applied. In the third case, it was the only therapy applied. We believe that the results obtained were excellent in all three cases.
