Lymphangioma Circumscriptum of the Glans Penis Treated with Advanced Fluorescence Technology Pulsed Light Therapy: Case Report

Abstract: he traditional treatment of lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is surgical removal.1 However, laser or hypertonic saline sclerotherapy are recommended as alternative procedures. [2][3][4] Recently, pulsed light (PL) therapy is used more frequently for the treatment of vascular lesions due to its noninvasiveness, ease of use, and short recovery time. 5,6 Advanced fluorescence technology (AFPL) is a novel pulsed light technology, and it can be used for photodamaged of pigmented or vascular lesions of the skin.7,8 … Show more

“…The mainstay of treatment for tongue lymphangioma is surgery [15,16] on the other hand sclerotherapy, simple electrocautery, vaporization with CO 2 laser, radiotherapy, pulse-dye laser and radiofrequency could be used as a treatment. [7,11,[17][18][19][20] The aim of the treatment for tongue lymphangioma is minimizing the side effects like macroglossia cases as well as difficulty in swallowing and mastication, speech disturbances, exclusive nasal breathing, airway obstruction, mandibular prognathism and other possible deformities of maxillofacial structures. [8] All of the patients were recommended surgery as a treatment since the microcystic type was not responding to sclerotherapy.…”

“…Bu tedavi yaklaşımların birçoğundan derin komponentlere ulaşımdaki yetersizliği ve multifokal lezyonlara bağlı yüksek nüks oranları nedeniyle yüz güldürücü sonuçlar alınamamaktadır 3 . LS tedavisinde ablatif ve ablatif olmayan pek çok lazer kullanılmış olup her biri için değişik başarı oranları bildirilmiştir [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] derindeki yapılarla bağlantılı lenfatik kanalları kapatan karbondioksit lazerden başarılı sonuçlar alınmıştır. Ancak karbondioksit lazer gibi ablatif lazerlerin lokal veya genel anestezi gerektirmesi ve belirgin sikatris bırakması gibi dezavantajları bulunmaktadır 8,9 .…”
