J Dermatol. 1997 Oct;24(10):666-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1346-8138.1997.tb02313.x.

Abstract

Reports of lymphangiectases that occur in lesions of morphea are rare. We describe a 24-year-old woman with a solitary morphea profunda associated with lymphangiectasia. Unlike previously reported cases, our case showed lymphatic dilatation resembling Swiss cheese and developed around a milium.
