ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the case of a newborn with cervical-facial lymphangioma detected during pregnancy and who received treatment with OK-432 shortly after birth. Case presentation: Newborn with detection of cervical anatomic defect by ultrasound at 26 weeks of gestation; lymphangioma was suspected using other studies such as magnetic resonance imaging. The pregnancy came to term, which was stirred by cesarean section without complications. At birth and after performing other studies, the diagnosis of micro and macrocystic cervical-facial lymphangioma was confirmed. At eight days of age sclerotherapy with OK-432 was applied. After five and 10 weeks of treatment the lesion was significantly reduced. The patient evolved satisfactorily, without complications. Conclusions: Since lymphangiomas can be detected in the fetal period, in the early neonatal stage patients can receive treatment with OK-432.
