Unusual angiomatous or lymphangiomatous vascular malformations are rarely seen. One of them is lymphangioma (LA), which is a rare benign lymphovascular abnormality. LA is usually seen in the types of circumscriptum (or capillary), cavernous and cystic. Here, we report a unique case of LA with a patchy appearance. The patient presented due to unusual symptoms and eccentric clinical manifestation of the lesion. Here, we present a new lymphatic entity which was diagnosed as LA with its clinical, radiological and pathological findings. Written informed consent of the patient was obtained for this report. To the best of our knowledge this macular form of cutaneous LA has not been previously reported in literature. Macular LA should be kept in mind when faced with a colored long-term macular lesion on the skin.
罕见的血管瘤样或淋巴管瘤样血管畸形很少见。其中一种是淋巴管瘤(LA),它是一种罕见的良性淋巴血管异常。LA 通常见于局限性(或毛细血管)、海绵状和囊性。在此,我们报告了一个具有斑片状外观的 LA 独特病例。该患者因病变的异常症状和偏心临床表现就诊。在此,我们根据其临床、放射学和病理学表现提出了一种新的淋巴实体,诊断为 LA。本报告获得了患者的书面知情同意。据我们所知,这种皮肤 LA 的黄斑形式以前尚未在文献中报道过。当面对皮肤上长期存在的有色黄斑病变时,应考虑到黄斑状 LA。
