[Intratumor bleomycin-A5 injection under electrolaryngoscope for treatment of large laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma].

OBJECTIVE

To study the therapeutic effect of bleomycin-A5 injection under eletrolaryngoscope for treatment of large laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma.

METHODS

Intratumor bleomycin-A5 injection under eletrolaryngoscope was performed in 18 cases of large laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma with surface anaesthesia, for totally 7 to 14 (mean 10.2) injections in each case.

RESULTS

Twelve patients were cured and 6 showed obvious improvement. Follow-up of the patients for over one year found no recurrence of the hemangioma.

CONCLUSION

Bleomycin-A5 injection is a minimal invasive procedure for treatment of large laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma, causing less pain and better preserving the laryngeal function without the necessity of tracheotomy.
