Observation was offered to patients without symptoms or functional compromise.

The strength of the association between exposures and regression was assessed using risk ratios, Cliff Δ, and Cramer V. A Kaplan-Meier curve was used to estimate the probability of spontaneous regression over time. The association of the exposures on the likelihood of spontaneous regression were assessed using 2-sided log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazards models.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of 298 patients with HNLMs, 173 (58.1%) were male, and most HNLMs were diagnosed prenatally or at birth (137 patients [46.0%]). Among HNLMs, 189 (63.4%) had a focal distribution, 228 (76.5%) were de Serres stage I or II, and 128 (43.0%) were macrocystic. Complete spontaneous regression occurred in 27 patients (9.1%) at a median (IQR) time of 12.0 (6.7-27.4) months from onset. Factors associated with a large difference in the rate of complete spontaneous regression included macrocystic structure, neck location, focal distribution, and grade 1 or de Serres I stage.

A 1-year observation period for asymptomatic HNLM, particularly when favorable features are present, should be considered, as nonintervention may be curative. Future studies will examine interaction among these factors.
