Lymphangioma Circumscriptum of the Vulva: A Case Report

Vulvar lymphangioma circumscriptum is a rare, benign lymphatic malformation that can mimic infectious or neoplastic lesions, often leading to delayed diagnoses. This report presents the case of a 48-year-old woman who presented with a 10-year history of wart-like lesions on the vulva, causing soreness, pruritus, and an impaired quality of life. Examination revealed multiple fluid-filled papules and swelling of the left labia majora. She underwent surgical excision, and histopathology confirmed lymphangioma circumscriptum without evidence of malignancy. At 12-month follow-up, she remained asymptomatic with no recurrence. This case highlights the importance of considering lymphangioma circumscriptum in chronic vulvar lesions and demonstrates that surgical excision can provide effective symptom relief.

Abstract

Vulvar lymphangioma circumscriptum is a rare, benign lymphatic malformation that can mimic infectious or neoplastic lesions, often leading to delayed diagnoses. This report presents the case of a 48-year-old woman who presented with a 10-year history of wart-like lesions on the vulva, causing soreness, pruritus, and an impaired quality of life. Examination revealed multiple fluid-filled papules and swelling of the left labia majora. She underwent surgical excision, and histopathology confirmed lymphangioma circumscriptum without evidence of malignancy. At 12-month follow-up, she remained asymptomatic with no recurrence. This case highlights the importance of considering lymphangioma circumscriptum in chronic vulvar lesions and demonstrates that surgical excision can provide effective symptom relief.
