Lymphatic malformations (LM) are benign congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. They are frequently seen in the neck and sometimes can be life-threatening due to compression to the airway. Treatment modalities are widespread including surgical excision, radiotherapy, laser therapy, and application of intralesional sclerosing agents. We report the successful treatment of cervical LM in...

The management of vascular anomalies is an extremely challenging area and is as divergent as the nature of lesions. Traditionally, embolization with the resection of the lesion has been used. The purpose of this report is to present cases treated successfully using sclerosing solution injections alone. Management of the vascular malformation using intralesional injections of sodium tetradecyl s...

To the Editor: Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injections can rapidly and effectively treat severe localized dermatitis. However, these treatments are associated with adverse effects such as dermal atrophy, hypopigmentation, capillary dilation, and Cushing syndrome. These adverse effects may be attributable, in part, to the large doses of TA required to obtain the desired outcome. Th...

A case of a pediatric patient with a recurrent single lesion, four months after finishing treatment for seven lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis with intramuscular meglumine antimoniate. Once the recurrence was confirmed by direct visualization of amastigotes, the decision taken was to repeat treatment with 1 cc of intralesional meglumine antimoniate, with a uniform distribution inside the lesi...

INTRODUCTION: Many studies have proved the role, efficacy and safety profile of intralesional bleomycin in the management of hypertrophic scars and keloids.1 Liposomes, by virtue of their lipid bilayer, have potential to enhance the delivery of drug to the desired area. Drugs encapsulated in liposomes are expected to be transported without rapid degradation and minimum side effects to the recip...
