Abstract

Management of cystic lymphangioma necessitate for optimal diagnosis and treatment the expertise of a trained multidisciplinary team including dermatologists, radiologists, plastic and vascular surgeons. An initial imaging work-up of these lesions by ultrasound Doppler examination and MR imaging are necessary before treatment planning. Depending of the size, the location, the risk for the adjacent organs, a therapeutic decision may be mandatory. Percutaneous sclerotherapy is a safe and efficient treatment. It is the treatment of choice that must be proposed in first intention.
