Abstract

Local injection of OK-432 is a conservative therapy for cystic lesions. One mechanism of this therapy is thought to be tissue adhesion due to inflammatory response after injection.<BR>Recently, this therapy has been the first choice for cystic lymphangioma.<BR>We report the case of a hen-egg-sized plunging ranula treated successfully with OK-432 local injection.<BR>The patient was a 13-year-old girl. Swelling appearedin the left submandibular region starting in April 1999.<BR>The lesion was punctured under local anesthesia and about 25 ml of viscid internal fluid was aspirated with a syringe. Then 10ml of OK-432 solution (0.1 KE/ml) was injected into the cyst.<BR>Five months later, the swelling had disappeared almost completely. No evidence of recurrence was observed during follow-up and no abnormalities were seen in the flow of saliva.
