[Treatment of hemangioma in oral and maxillofacial region with intralesional injection of pingyangmycin].
摘要
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the indication and long term treatment results of intralesional injection of Pingyangmycin for hemangiomas in oral and maxillofacial regions. METHODS: Between June 1986 and June 2000, 1040 patients with maxillofacial hemangiomas were treated by intralesional injection of Pingyangmycin PYM . There were 312 males and 712 females. The types of hemangiomas included capillary 436, cavernous 238, mixed 260, arterial venous malformation 8 and port wine stain 9 . The injection was performed in stages and multi sites, repeated after 14 to 21 days for 2 to 3 times as one course. RESULTS: All the patients were followed up for 1 to 14 years. The cure rates of capillary, mixed and cavernous hemangioma were 96.40%, 92.20% and 67.20%, respectively. No effect was found for arterial venous malformations. The best dose effect was attained in 1mg/cm(2). The best concentration of Pingyangmycin was 1mg/ml for capillary hemangioma and the concentration may be higher for cavernous hemangiomas. Fever occurred in 6.54% of the cases. Serious complications associated with Pingyangmycin injection, such as pulmonary fibrosis were not found. CONCLUSION: Intralesional injection of Pingyangmycin can be used as the therapy of choice for capillary, mixed and cavernous hemangiomas in oral and maxillofacial region. The advantages included a high cure rate, safety, short course, manipulation with ease and fewer side effects.
