Comprehensive Diagnostics
Patients receive a complete workup in 3–5 days. This happens under one roof. The process includes:
- Consultation with a pediatric oncologist or surgeon
- CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis
- MRI of the brain or body with contrast if needed
- Doppler ultrasound and comprehensive laboratory tests
- Genetic screening and tumor-marker analysis
Available Treatment Methods
The clinic provides both non-surgical and surgical options. The choice depends on the cyst's size and location.
- Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive injection therapy. A doctor injects medication directly into the cyst. This procedure requires no incisions and helps preserve surrounding tissue. Patients typically go home the same day.
- Total Surgical Excision is for large or complex lymphangiomas. Surgeons perform complete removal under general anesthesia. The hospital stay is usually 1-2 days. The estimated cost for this operation is $8,900–$11,200. This package often includes anesthesia, a one-day hospital stay for patient and companion, pathology tests, and free follow-up within 14 days.
- Cervical Lymph Node Biopsy/Excision serves a dual purpose. It confirms the diagnosis and can reduce mass effect. This can be an incisional or excisional procedure with a short hospital stay.
The clinic supports international patients with free airport transfers from Istanbul's airports and 24/7 interpreter services. Contact the clinic to discuss a personalized diagnostic and treatment plan for lymphangioma.
