Cystic hygroma is recognized in infants and children as a benign tumor of the neck. Local injection of OK-432 for cystic hygroma is commonly performed as the therapy of first choice. However, although OK-432 therapy is well known due to its remarkable effectiveness, postoperative management against airway obstruction, for example, is important especially in infants. We have experienced 9 cases of cystic hygroma with 7 cases of OK-432 therapy. A 1-month-old boy who had been diagnosed as cystic hygroma was treated with intralesional injection of OK-432 when the hygroma grew suddenly after a common cold. In this case, the hygroma decreased remarkably by the first injection. A 1-year-old girl, whose CT and MRI showed large multilobular cystic tumor of the lateral neck expanding to the contralateral side, was diagnosed as cystic hygroma and treated with intralesional injection of OK-432. In this case ICU admission was required due to postoperative airway obstruction. Furthermore, recurrent hygroma grew 4 times during 3-years of observation despite repeated OK-432 injection. While some considerations are still required to improve the outcome, OK-432 therapy is an effective and safe first-line treatment for cystic hygroma of the head and neck in children.
