Tetracycline sclerotherapy for the treatment of recurrent pooling of plasma in the submandibular tissue space: case report.

Abstract
We present an unusual case of recurrent swelling after removal of the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands which was found to be the result of a collection of plasma. This was successfully treated by an injection of tetracycline to induce sclerosis.
