Successful OK-432 therapy for a supraclavicular lymphocele: report of a case

Simon Florian Preuss et al. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2006 Jul.

Abstract

Surgery is considered the gold standard in the treatment of lymphoceles, however this is not feasible for all cases. We report the successful treatment of a supraclavicular lymphocele by intralesional application of the sclerosing agent OK-432. After a total of three intralesional injections of OK-432, the cyst had disappeared completely and the patient was free of symptoms. Thus, intralesional application of OK-432 is considered a highly effective treatment for cystic masses such as lymphoceles.
