Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of bipolar coagulation forceps combined with 1% lauromacrogol foam sclerotherapy in the treatment of microcystic lymphatic malformation of tongue. METHODS: The clinical data of 16 patients with microcystic lymphatic malformation of the tongue admitted to the Department of Stomatology of Foshan First People's Hospital from April 2017 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 7 males and 9 females, aging from 15 months to 21 years. The average age of patients was 8.32±1.21 years. The efficacy and complications of the patients were evaluated. RESULTS: All 16 patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months. The clinical response was evaluated as eleven patients (68.75%) for grade Ⅳ, three (18.75%) for grade Ⅲ, two (12.5%) for grade Ⅱ, and the effective rate was 87.5%. Necrosis of tongue mucosa and muscle occurred in 1 patient. CONCLUSIONS: Bipolar coagulation forceps combined with 1% lauromacrogol foam sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive, safe and effective treatment for tongue microcystic lymphatic malformation.
