Current treatment options for lymphatic malformations are expectant management, sclerotherapy, and surgical resection. Intralesional endoscopy and intercystic septectomy constitute a promising supplementary treatment method for subcutaneous lymphatic malformations. By creating a single, communicating cavity, the efficacy of subsequent sclerotherapy may be increased, and thus the need for multiple treatment sessions may be avoidable.
