J Obstet Gynaecol Res. 2001 Oct;27(5):293-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1447-0756.2001.tb01272.x.

Abstract

Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is an uncommon dermatologic problem that rarely affects the vulva and it is considered to be a localised developmental defect of lymphatic tissue in the dermis. We report a case of vulval LC, clinically diagnosed as genital wart, in a 48-year-old woman without evidence of secondary lymphatic damage. The patient required extensive vulval surgery and there was no recurrence after 16 months.
