Overview
The mainstay of therapy for lymphangioma is surgery. Treatment for lymphangioma involves the removal of the abnormal tissue; however complete removal may be impossible without removing other normal areas. Most patients need at least two procedures done for the removal process to be achieved.
Surgery
- The mainstay of therapy for lymphangioma is surgery.[1]
- Treatment for lymphangioma involves the removal of the abnormal tissue; however complete removal may be impossible without removing other normal areas.
- Most patients need at least two procedures done for the removal process to be achieved.
- Recurrence is possible but unlikely for those lesions able to be removed completely via excisional surgery.
- Draining lymphangiomas of fluid provides only temporary relief, so they are removed surgically.
- The least invasive and most effective form of treatment is now performed by interventional radiologists.
