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.
局限性淋巴管瘤是一种良性错构瘤性畸形,涉及皮肤和皮下组织的淋巴系统。它可以发生在身体的任何部位,但最常发生在四肢的近端。外阴受累较为少见。根据病因,局限性淋巴管瘤可以是原发性的,也可以是继发性的,继发性形式在女性外阴中更为常见。我们报告了一例极其罕见的绝经后女性原发性局限性淋巴管瘤病例,其表现为大阴唇上多发性疣状、丘疹结节性病变。该患者经组织病理学诊断,并通过广泛局部切除和一期缝合进行手术治疗。
