Lymphangiomas are congenital malformations of the lymphatic system characterized by clusters of translucent vesicles. Dermoscopically, yellow and bluish lacunea according to the lymphatic or haematic content were described previously, but it is difficult to distinguish them from haemangioma.
In nine patients with cutaneous lymphangioma circumscriptum (CLC), hypopyon-like features were observed. None of the 10 patients with haemangioma had this finding.
Hypopyon-like features can be a useful dermoscopic pattern in differentiating CLC from haemangioma.
淋巴管瘤是一种先天性的淋巴系统畸形,其特征是透明囊泡的簇状存在。先前有报道称,淋巴管瘤的皮肤镜下表现为黄色和蓝色的腔隙,这取决于其中的淋巴液或血液成分,但与血管瘤很难区分。
在 9 例皮肤局限型淋巴管瘤(CLC)患者中,观察到似前房积脓样特征。10 例血管瘤患者均无此发现。
似前房积脓样特征可作为一种有用的皮肤镜下模式,有助于将 CLC 与血管瘤区分开来。
