“…Surgical excision has historically been the treatment of choice, but may require extensive resection, leading to undesirable functional and cosmetic outcomes. In addition, failure to adequately address deeper lymphatic cisterns may result in recurrence ( 1 , 2 ). Reported rates of post-surgical recurrence range from 23.1% to 25% ( 2 ).…”

“…Lymphangioma circumscriptum be either primary or secondary. The primary form presents since birth or develops during early childhood while the secondary form develops due to damage or impairment of the lymphatic flow secondary to a variety of causes like infections including tuberculosis, filariasis, lymphogranuloma venereum, prior local surgery or radiotherapy, trauma, scleroderma, Crohn disease and in association with neoplasms affecting the local lymphatics . Though vulvar lymphangioma circumscriptum is rare, primary vulvar disease is even rarer as secondary impairment of the lymphatics is more common in this region.…”

Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a benign hamartomatous malformation involving the lymphatic system of skin and subcutaneous tissue. It can involve any part of the body with maximum predilection for proximal parts of limbs. Vulvar involvement is quite infrequent. Based on the aetiopathogenesis, it can be either primary or secondary, with the secondary form being relatively more common in vulva. We report an exceedingly rare case of primary lymphangioma circumscriptum in a post-menopausal female presenting with multiple warty, papulo-nodular lesions on both labia majora. The patient was diagnosed histopathologically and managed surgically by wide local excision with primary closure.

“…The clinical presentation of ALV is highly variable, ranging from being asymptomatic to a highly disabling condition. Discomfort, itching, rubbing and lymph oozing are the most frequent symptoms [10]. Clinically, ALV usually presents as multiple nodular lesions, verruciform or polypoid, with variable size and, usually, with intervening normal skin.…”

Vulvar lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is an unusual benign condition, congenital or acquired, related to interference in the lymph drainage. This entity can be confused with conditions such as genital warts. We sought to clarify the clinicopathologic features of the Acquired vulvar LC by studying 3 affected patients from our institution. We report 3cases of vulvar LC: Two cases were presented after gynecologic cancer treatment (surgery, lymphadenectomy, and radiotherapy). 1 case was related to lower limb chronic lymphedema. In two of them, the initial clinical diagnosis was genital wart. Two patients were treated by Laser CO2 and cryotherapy, with a good response and without any recurrence. The possibility of vulvar LC should be taken into account as a possible diagnosis in patients with previous oncological surgery or genital warts refractory to the conventional treatment. Knowledge on the features of this lesion can avoid unnecessary clinical and therapeutic procedures.
