Cystic hygroma is curable, but it is possible that the tumor may return after some time and it is not yet known why.
Treatment for cystic hygroma consists of an injection with a sclerotic substance that can destroy the fluid that fills the tumor. This liquid comes from the lymphatic circulation and although it is not known why it forms the cyst, some individuals can develop it in adulthood.
The medicine that best eliminates cystic hygroma is Ok432, which has no side effects and is non-toxic and can eliminate the tumor in the first application most of the time. Depending on the location of the cyst, the doctor may perform an ultrasound to better visualize the area to be treated in order to avoid applying the drug to other tissues causing further damage.
This application is made in the clinic or hospital and the individual does not need to be hospitalized, although it is necessary to rest and avoid efforts in the three days after treatment. If the hygroma is very large and prevents free movement of the joint close to its location, such as knee, elbow or neck, there may be a need to perform some physiotherapy sessions to decrease pain and increase range of motion.
When it comes to a fetal cystic hygroma, the doctor may assess the need for surgery to remove the cyst, but this will depend on its location. Cysts located in the subdural region of the brain or very close to vital organs must be observed for some time before starting therapy and the risk / benefit of its removal must be evaluated.
