Abstract
Capillary lymphangiomas present of birth, and which have very little tendency to regress, must be distinguished from true cystic lymphangiomas developing after birth which are probably due to lymph blockade and are not true congenital malformations. This probably explains why the latter lesions regress either spontaneously or more rapidly after treatment with products such as Ethibloc. In the latter case, the efficacy of Ethibloc therapy appears to be equal to that of surgery without the formation of a scar and should therefore be tried initially before surgery.
