Acquired vulvar lymphangioma: Report of two cases

Journal of General-Procedural Dermatology & Venereology Indonesia, 2016

Vulvar lymphangioma is a rare case and often being misdiagnosed as genital wart. This acquired disorder manifests as dilatation of superficial lymph vessel due to obstruction. It is caused by urogenital infection and most often occurs following surgery and radiotherapy of cervical cancer. The diagnosis is established based on clinical and histopathological features. Treatment aimed to eliminate the cause of obstruction. This article reports two cases of vulvar lymphangioma found in our Hospital. Kelainan yang mendasari lesi kulit pada kedua kasus adalah dilatasi pembuluh limfe superfisial dermis vulva. Sumbatan pembuluh limfe akibat radiasi dan operasi kanker serviks pada kasus 1 dan sumbatan pada kelenjar getah bening inguinal pada kasus 2, menyebabkan peningkatan tekanan pembuluh limfatik dermis. Beberapa modalitas terapi untuk menghilangkan lesi diharapkan memberi hasil akhir yang baik secara kosmetis, mencegah kekambuhan, dan infeksi. Tatalaksana pada kedua kasus menggunakan bedah listrik memberikan respon baik, namun perlu waspada adanya kekambuhan.

Vulval lymphangiectasia: 2 case reports

International Journal of Reproduction, Contraception, Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2017

Vulval lymphangiectasia is a rare cutaneous condition of lymphatic channels in deep dermal and subcutaneous layers. It can be congenital condition or might develop secondary to tuberculosis, surgery, radiotherapy, crohn’s disease etc. Very few cases have been reported in the literature so far. Diagnosis is mainly clinical aided with histopathology. Various treatment modalities are available for this condition. Surgical treatment is the most commonly used method to treat vulvar lymphangiectasia and has offered promising results. In this report, we present 2 cases of vulval lymphangiectasia- one congenital case and other acquired after tuberculosis.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum of the vulva: Report of a rare case

Journal of Mid-life Health, 2015

Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a form of lymphangioma characterised by benign dilation of lymphatic channels, which affects the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The most common sites of LC are mucosa of mouth, tongue, groin, axilla, trunk and proximal region of extremities. Vulva is a rare site of LC. In this report, we are presenting a case of LC of vulva occurring in a 60-year-old female without any obvious reason. The patient presented with multiple genital wart-like papular lesions in the vulva. Biopsy of lesion reveals LC. She was treated with vulvectomy and showed no sign of recurrence till date.

Acquired Vulvar Lymphangioma Circumscriptum

Case Reports in Dermatological Medicine, 2013

Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a benign dilation of lymph channels localized to the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It is generally localized in mouth mucosa, tongue, proximal regions of arms and legs, groin, axilla, and trunk. Primary vulvar involvement is very rare. Vulvar involvement occurs in various clinical settings. Here, two uncommon cases with giant lymphangioma circumscriptum mimicking genital warts will be presented: a 55-year-old female patient with extensive lymphangiectasic lesions and genital wart-like papular lesions in the vulva secondary to diffuse scrofuloderma scars and a 60year-old female patient with verruca-like lesions secondary to chronic inflammation.

A Case of Acquired Lymphangioma of the Vulva

The Journal of Dermatology, 1993

A 46‐year‐old woman developed multiple papules on the right labium majus. A histological examination revealed acanthotic epidermis and dilated vessels in the papillary dermis. The clinical and histological features were compatible with those of lymphangiectasis or acquired lymphangioma of the vulva, which occurs after surgery or irradiation for cervical cancer. This patient, however, had no such past history. Acquired lymphangioma of the vulva arising without obvious causes seems to be unusual.

Congenital lymphangioma circumscriptum of the vulva

Indian Pediatrics, 2009

Lymphangioma circumscriptum of the vulva is a disorder of lymphatic channels involving deep dermal tissues. Most of these cases are confused with genital warts leading to improper diagnosis and treatment. We present a three years young female child who had multiple skin colored papular lesions over the genitals. Skin biopsy revealed features of lymphangioma circumscriptum.

Acquired lymphangioma of the vulva – clinical and dermoscopic presentation

Dermatology Review

Acquired lymphangioma, also called acquired cutaneous lymphangiectasia or secondary lymphangioma, is a relatively rare and benign tumour consisting of dilated superficial lymphatic vessels. We present 50-year-old patient diagnosed with acquired lymphangioma of the vulva and discuss the diagnostic methods of the disease, including dermoscopy.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum of the vulva treated with radiofrequency ablation: case report

Mucosa, 2020

Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a rare benign skin disease involving hamartomatous lymphatic malformation of the deep dermal and subcutaneous lymphatic ducts. Upon occuring in uncommon areas such as axilla, shoulder, groin, and vulva, it is a therapeutic challenge for the dermatologist. Various methods such as surgical excision, lasers, and sclerotherapy have been used in the past to treat this unsightly skin condition. In this article we report the efficacy of a radiofrequency ablation in a female patient with vulvar LC. The treatment efficiency of radiofrequency was satisfactory in our patient without recurrence during the 6-month follow-up period. Based on previous studies, radiofrequency technique is a safe and cost-effective treatment for LC management, as in our case.
