Question
An 8-month-old girl has discovered a lump on her left thigh over the past two months. The skin color is normal, and she inquires about the possibility of cure and recurrence.
Answer
Platinol can be used to treat lymphangioma, with an overall efficacy rate of about 60%, but it is less effective for cystic tumors and usually requires multiple injections. Surgical treatment is relatively effective, but approximately 10% of cases may experience tumor recurrence. For smaller recurrent tumors, observation can be chosen, but if the recurrent tumor is larger, a second surgery may be necessary.
