We describe the treatment of three boys with cavernous lymphangioma of the legs. The suggested guidelines for treatment are extensive surgical resection, although complete resection is usually impossible, and approximately two weeks after the operation aspiration of serous fluid which has accumulated at the operation site, followed by injection of OK-432 (Picibanil). There was pyrexia and local inflammation for several days but the accumulation of serous fluid disappeared after the injection. There were no complications with no recurrence, joint contracture, or pain during a mean follow-up of 48 months (24 to 72). We conclude that an injection of OK-432 after surgical resection of cavernous lymphangioma of the legs in children is an effective treatment
