Sotradecol (sodium tetradecyl sulfate) injection of orbital lymphangioma.

Wojno TH.

The Emory Clinic, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA.

PURPOSE: To describe the results of intralesional injection of the sclerosing agent sodium tetradecyl sulfate in patients with lymphangioma. METHODS: Three patients (one child and two adults) were treated. RESULTS: Two patients had improvement in the size of the lymphangioma, although the result was short-lived in one instance. Minimal change was noted in the third patient. Two patients had transient edema and ecchymosis, and one patient had a mild allergic reaction to the injected solution. CONCLUSIONS: Sodium tetradecyl sulfate may be a useful therapeutic option for some patients with eyelid or orbital lymphangioma, particularly if a previous operation has not been performed.
