%X introduction: lymphangioma is a malformation of the lymphatic system. the classic approach is surgery. we report a case of orbital lymphangioma in a girl who was given ok-432 to avoid surgery and its complications. discussion: ok-432 is a lyophilized mixture of group a streptococcus pyogenes which produces a fibrosis limited to the lesion with a high cure rate. the main advantages are the easy intra-lesional application. with no scars and or damage of closed areas. its main disadvantage is a significant local inflammatory reaction.
