Abstract

Histological diagnosis of a biopsied specimen was cavernous lymphangioma. The patient underwent photocoagulation therapy with Nd-YAG laser, because OK 432 local injection therapy had been ineffective. The postoperative course was uneventful and he had no postoperative deformity and dysfunction.
