Abstract
Lymphatic malformations, sometimes referred to as “lymphangiomas” are composed of malformed, dilated lymphatic channels. They should be removed either for cosmesis or function when located in the head and neck region. They have traditionally been approached surgically. However, high recurrence rates with surgery alone have caused multimodal therapy to be an attractive approach. We present a case report of a giant macrocystic lesion of the head approached with staged therapy, in an attempt to salvage the patient’s involved ear.
