Item type:Publication, TREATMENT OF LYMPHATIC MALFORMATIONS IN CHILDREN: 3 YEARS EXPERIENCE(University of Tetovo, 2023-05); ;Njomza LUMANI-BAKIJI ;Lazo JOVCHESKIAleksandar STEPANOVSKIIntroduction: Lymphatic malformations (LM) are congenital benign malformations from the group of slow-flow vascular anomalies consisting of pathological cystic dilatation of the lymphatic vessels. The incidence of LM ranges from 1.5 to 2.8% in 2000 to 4000 newborn children, and are relatively rare congenital vascular anomalies. They are characterized with equal representation between the genders. From the structural aspect, LM are divided into macrocystic, microcystic and mixed type, with its own therapeutic and prognostic implications. A small percentage of LM are combined with additional anomalies and are part of syndromes such as CLOVES, Klippel-Trenaunay, Proteus and others. In recent years, the method of choice in the treatments is sclerosing as a non-invasive method achieving almost excellent results.
