“…Congenital lymphangiomas (lymphangioma circumscriptum) represents malformation of deep dermal and subcutaneous lymphatics with secondary dilatation of superficial lymphatics, whereas acquired lymphangiomas or lymphangiectasia represent dilatation of superficial lymphatics, resulting from obstruction of previously normal deep lymphatics. Acquired lymphangiomas are rare and are reported to occur following radiotherapy to carcinoma of cervix,[1] tuberculous inguinal adenitis,[2] intra-abdominal and pelvic surgeries,[34] scrofuloderma,[5] scarring after keloids,[6] Crohn's disease,[7] and recurrent cellulitis. [8] The most common clinical presentation is multiple vesicles with oozing of clear fluid (lymphorrhea).…”

Secondary lymphangiomas or acquired lymphangiomas of vulva represent dilatation of upper dermal lymphatics following damage to previously normal deep lymphatics. They have been reported to occur following various infections, surgeries and radiotherapy which can cause damage to deep lymphatics.Treatment options in the management of secondary lymphangiomas include surgical resection, carbon dioxide laser vaporisation, sclerosing agents etc. We report two cases of secondary lymphangioma of vulva that followed radiotherapy for carcinoma of cervix. Both the patients were treated successfully by surgery.

Dermatologic extraintestinal manifestations of Crohn disease may be refractory to treatment with corticosteroids and immunomodulators. The authors describe four children with Crohn disease with dermatologic manifestations: pyoderma gangrenosum, orofacial involvement, erythema nodosum, and idiopathic lymphedema. These dermatologic conditions were unresponsive to conventional therapy but had rapid and sustained response to the anti–TNF‐α antibody infliximab. No adverse reactions occurred. Infliximab should be considered for treating the extraintestinal dermatologic manifestations of Crohn disease in children.
