Lymphatic malformations are rare slow and low flow abnormalities that occur in 1 of 6,000 to 1 in 16,000 live newborns. Cystic malformations are classified according to their size as macrocystic, microcystic, or mixed. This classification has an impact on treatment and prognosis. Macrocystic lymphatic malformations have a better response to treatment, while microcystic malformations are difficult to treat and frequently recur. The objective of this study is to describe the results obtained in patients with macro and microcystic lymphatic malformations who underwent sclerotherapy using alcohol and Bleomycin, respectively. A descriptive study of patients with lymphatic malformations treated in the Radiology Service of the National Institute of Pediatrics was carried out during the period from 2014 to 2016. Thirty-eight patients were included, 24 with macrocystic, 10 microcystic and 4 mixed lesions. 68% were treated with alcohol and 32% of the patients were treated with Bleomycin. The treatment showed excellent resolution in 5 patients, 25 patients had a lesion size reduction between 50 and 90%, 13% had a poor response, and only 7% had growth despite sclerosing treatment. From the above we conclude that percutaneous treatment is safe, reduces the size of the lesions and there are few reported complications. It could be used as initial treatment before considering surgery.
