Lymphangiomas are congenital malformations of the lymphatic system that consist of cysts of varying size. Although they are benign, they can undergo progressive growth with compression and infiltration of adjacent structures. Surgical excision has been the cornerstone of treatment, although total excision of the lymphangioma can be a major challenge and may be associated with severe complications. Therefore, a variety of nonsurgical methods have been proposed to reduce the surgical morbidity and to decrease the recurrence rate. Percutaneous sclerotherapy of lymphangioma involves the injection of sclerosing substances into the lymphangioma cysts. During the past years, different sclerosants and sclerosant techniques have been developed. This review summarizes the current knowledge on sclerotherapy of lymphangiomas of the head and neck.
淋巴管瘤是淋巴管系统的先天性畸形，由大小不等的囊肿组成。尽管它们是良性的，但它们可能会随着对相邻结构的压迫和浸润而进行性生长。手术切除一直是治疗的基石，尽管完全切除淋巴管瘤可能是一项重大挑战，并且可能与严重的并发症有关。因此，已经提出了多种非手术方法来降低手术发病率并降低复发率。淋巴管瘤的经皮硬化疗法包括将硬化剂注入淋巴管瘤囊肿中。在过去的几年中，已经开发出了不同的硬化剂和硬化剂技术。这篇综述总结了目前关于头颈部淋巴管瘤硬化疗法的知识。
