Question
An 8-month-old girl has discovered a lump on her left thigh over the past two months, and the skin color is normal.
Answer
Platinol can be used to treat lymphangiomas, with an overall efficacy of about 60%. It is not effective for multicystic tumors and requires multiple injections. Surgical treatment generally yields better results, but there is a 10% recurrence rate. Smaller recurrent tumors can be observed, while larger ones may require another surgery. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to pediatric tumors. For parents, it’s important not to panic and to take children to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Regular check-ups should be conducted, and medication should be taken according to the doctor’s guidance.
