Summary

This study tested a treatment for children with cystic hygromas (fluid-filled lumps) in the neck and face. Doctors drained the fluid and injected a medicine called bleomycin into the lump, repeating the process every 4 weeks until it shrank enough. The goal was to reduce the size of the lump, and results showed improvement in most of the 30 children treated.
