Lymphangioma circumscriptum of vulva
Abstract
Lymphangioma circumscriptum in vulva is an uncommon encounter in Dermatology clnics. It presents as a blistering eruption in vulva. It can be easily mistaken for genital Herpes Simplex. When the lesions are infected and ulcerated, it makes clinical diagnosis difficult.
We report a case of lymphangioma circumscriptum of vulva in a 48-year-old female who presented with recurrent pain, oedema, redness, and ulceration. She developed septicemia on one occasion, needing ICU care.
Clinical and histological features of lymphangioma circumscriptum and treatment options are discussed below.
