Treatment of Cystic Hygroma (Lymphangiomas) in Children- Picibanil(OK432) Sclerotherapy-Multicenter Trial

transillumination for localization of cysts. Treatment repeats every 6-8 weeks for a total
of up to 4 injections.
After completion of treatment, patients are followed at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
Interventional
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
to establish whether OK432 sclerotherapy is an effective form of treatment for lymphatic malformations versus the traditional form of treatment, which is surgical excision.
