no problem. also if you have a myspace or facebook, there are a number of parents with children with Lymphatic Malformations, as well as those with the condition as well that you can talk to. there's a myspace group, and on facebook it's under causes.
Thanks for the advice, will take a look at the websites and make sure the doctor has treated this in the past. We sure don't want it to reappear once it's removed the first time.
Hi. The term Cystic Hygroma is an old term, and is really a Lymphatic Malformation. Because of the term the doctors used, I'm guessing that it is macrocystic. It's very important to have a doctor who has EXPERIENCE with this condition, as there is a chance or regrowth with this. With macrocystic lesions, you can do sclerotherapy injections and not have to put your child through surgery. try looking at these websites for more info.: birthmark.org , novanews.org ... good luck with everything.
