Bleomycin을 이용한 낭포성 히그로마 치험 1례

초록

Cystic hygroma is congenital malformation of the lymphatics. The majority occur in the neck, presumably as develops anomalies of the jugular lymphatic sac. 80% to 90% of the cystic hygroma are detected by the second year life. Cystic hygroma is presented benign, painless, soft, single, or multiloculated compressive mass. Surgical excision has been considered as the treatment of choice. However, complete excision is difficult because the lymphatic malformation tends to infiltrate the surrounding tissues. If surgical excision is incomplete, cervical mass may cause wound infection or recurrence. We experienced a case of cystic hygroma in 6 months old female infant who was admitted because of rapidly enlarging huge cystic mass on the left lateral neck presenting since at birth. Bleomycin injection was repeatedly performed. There was no serious side effects and the size of the mass has been reduced. We report this case with the review of literatures.
