Abstract

The patient was a 12-year-old boy, who had cystic lymphangioma in his bilateral submandibular and mouth floor regions. Local injection of OK-432 was performed two times (first; 2KE, second 2KE, total; 4KE). No serious side effects were found besides the slight increase of body temperature and local inflammatory reaction. Five months after the treatment, the lymphangioma disappeared completely, and there has been no evidence of recurrence.<BR>Our result shows that local injection of OK-432 for cystic lymphangioma is both safe and reliable. Therefore, OK-432 therapy seems to be a first choice of therapy for cystic lymphangioma.
