Complete Resolution of Cystic Hygroma with Single Session of Intralesional Bleomycin

Intralesional sclerotherapy as a primary modality of management for cystic hygroma is successfully described in literature. It has many benefits over surgical approach; recurrence being the concern of as much as 20% of patients in which apparent complete excision has been performed. Bleomycin is one of sclerosing agents used as intralesional therapy in cystic hygroma. Complete response usually occurs in multiple sessions of sclerotherapy. Rarely, complete resolution occurs with single session of bleomycin sclerotherapy [1-7]. We share our experience of managing a case of cystic hygroma of neck that completely resolved with single session of bleomycin sclerotherapy.
