Lymphangioma symptoms and treatment in children

Lymphangioma is a relatively common tumor that often appears in the patient's lymph nodes and often causes swollen lymph nodes. For children, lymphangioma is very harmful and often causes patients to have fever, long-term low-grade fever, and symptoms of swollen and compressed lymph nodes. At this time, good diagnosis and treatment should be carried out in time to avoid harm to the health of the child.

1. Swollen lymph nodes:

The main symptom is superficial lymphadenopathy, which is most common in the neck, followed by the armpits and groin. The early symptoms are similar to lymphadenitis. The swollen lymph nodes are peristaltic, painless, hard, and mostly movable. They are not adhered to each other in the early stage, but may fuse in the late stage. Antibiotic treatment is ineffective, and the lymph nodes become larger day by day. Lymph nodes in other parts of the body are also swollen.

2. Fever:

The fever of children with lymphoma is often irregular, with long-term low-grade fever or periodic fever, accompanied by hepatosplenomegaly, abdominal pain, etc. Therefore, when children have unexplained lymphadenopathy or fever, and the lymphadenopathy persists for a long time and is not tender, they should be examined and treated promptly.

3. Compression symptoms caused by swollen lymph nodes:

As the disease progresses, the cancer will compress other parts of the child's body. For example, compression of the esophagus can cause difficulty in swallowing, and compression of the trachea can cause coughing, chest tightness, difficulty breathing and cyanosis.

Treatment of lymphangioma

1. Laser treatment of lymphangioma has a good effect

Surgery is extremely convenient for smaller lymphangiomas. For smaller capillary lymphangiomas, especially those that are mixed with small blood vessels and are light red or purple, conventional treatment causes slightly more bleeding, but laser can provide a clean, complete and thorough treatment.

2. Nd for surgical treatment:

YAG laser, quartz laser knife 60cm long was disinfected with 5% iodine, and then deiodinated with 75% ethanol for later use. Strict aseptic technique is used, the surgical area is strictly disinfected and covered, and after local anesthesia, the quartz laser knife directly enters the lymphangioma to output laser. The size and time ratio of laser output can be adjusted at any time depending on the size of the tumor.
