Summary

This study tests whether the drug rapamycin can reduce the size of large, hard-to-treat lymphatic malformations in the face and neck of children. About 28 kids aged 0 to 18 will take rapamycin by mouth for 6 months. The main goal is to see if the malformations shrink by at least one-fifth, which could ease breathing, swallowing, and pain.
