| Surgery has been the classic treatment of choice for benign cystic diseases, including
lymphatic malformation, ranula, branchial cleft cyst, thyroglossal duct cyst, thyroid
cyst, parathyroid cyst, and lymphocele. However, surgery is associated with a tendency
toward recurrence and may be accompanied by various complications, such as
nerve injuries, vascular injuries, and scar formation. Therefore, sclerotherapy using
various agents has been applied successfully to treatment of benign cystic diseases in
the neck. This editorial reviews the use of various sclerotic agents and application of
sclerotherapy to benign cystic diseases in the neck. |
