TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the efficacy of OK-432 (Picibanil) as a therapeutic modality for lymphangiomas in 13 US tertiary care referral centers.

TL;DR: The embryology, pathogenesis, histopathology, and classification of lymphangiomas are clarified, as well as to describe their various forms of clinical presentation.

TL;DR: Five different homozygous recessive mutations in a novel gene, TMIE (transmembrane inner ear expressed gene), in affected members of consanguineous families segregating severe-to-profound prelingual deafness are identified, consistent with linkage to DFNB6.

TL;DR: A genome wide linkage study on a large Cypriot family segregating otosclerosis identifies a third locus, OTSC3, on chromosome 6p, consistent with reported associations between HLA-A/HLA-B antigens and otos sclerosis.

TL;DR: Treatment of lymphatic malformations is tailored ascending to the degree of function and cosmetic compromise and the classification, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
