Patient's question:
Basic Information: Male, 5 monthsDisease/Symptoms: Post-lymphatic vessel tumor surgery
Condition Description: My baby had lymphatic vessel tumor surgery at one and a half months old. Will it recur? What is the probability?
Doctor's answer:
Hello. The possibility of recurrence after lymphangiomatous surgery depends on the extent of the tumor and the degree of infiltration into surrounding tissues. Generally speaking, the younger the age, the higher the likelihood of recurrence. Of course, the complete resection rate is significantly lower than in other cases. If the growth is diffuse, it is certainly impossible to completely remove it, and only certain drugs can be used to assist in treatment. Of course, the recurrence rate will be significantly higher. It must be remembered to follow up. If recurrence is detected, it is necessary to undergo reoperation as soon as possible. The smaller the tumor, the easier it is to remove.
