Lymphangioma of the clitoris in an 18-year-old female patient: a case report

Lymphangiomas are benign tumors consisting of thin-walled and intersecting lymphatic channels of various sizes and shapes. These anomalies are the result of a malformation of the lymphatic system. Lymphangiomas may occur in various anatomical regions, develop slowly, often remain asymptomatic, and are most prevalent in children and adolescents, making this clinical case particularly interesting to discuss. The clinical case presents a rare localization of lymphangioma—in the clitoral region—in an 18-year-old female. This study emphasizes the need to increase awareness among physicians of various specialties about the existence of such rare pathologies, their clinical significance, and optimal treatment modalities. Since there is still no established treatment algorithm for this disease, the authors believe that the best treatment plan should be based primarily on the patient’s comfort and the treating physician’s experience. The analysis of such clinical cases will contribute to the expansion of the knowledge of practitioners and the improvement of their professional skills. Furthermore, it will serve as a useful guide for future studies of lymphangiomas of different localizations.
