Single patient shows promise with Ultrasound-Guided cystic hygroma injection
NCT ID NCT07246928
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This case report describes a procedure where a child with cystic hygroma (a fluid-filled lump) received an ultrasound-guided injection of bleomycin directly into the lesion. The goal was to shrink the cyst. Only one patient was involved, so the results are very preliminary and may not apply to others.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bleomycin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a less invasive treatment option for cystic hygroma in children.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single case report, not a large trial. Results may not apply to all patients, and bleomycin can cause side effects like scarring or allergic reactions.
