Intralesional therapies for vascular malformations of the head and neck

Vibhor Wadhwa et al. J Oral Pathol Med. 2022 Nov.

Abstract

Vascular malformations of the head and neck represent a spectrum of complex vascular anomalies, requiring a multidisciplinary approach toward diagnosis and treatment. Several intralesional therapeutic agents have been devised and pioneered over the years, some of which are now primary and standard of care for the management of these lesions. In this article, the authors discuss the currently available intralesional therapeutic agents for the management of vascular malformations in the head and neck region.

Keywords: intralesional therapy; lymphatic malformation; sclerotherapy; vascular malformation.
