Background:

Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a complex lymphatic malformation affecting the skin and deeper tissues.
Current treatment options, such as surgical excision, are often associated with high recurrence rates.
Effective management of symptomatic cases remains a clinical challenge.

Observation:

A pediatric patient presented with a symptomatic lymphangioma circumscriptum.
The lesion involved superficial lymphatic malformations with a vascular component.
Treatment was administered using pulsed dye laser therapy.

Findings:

Pulsed dye laser treatment yielded positive outcomes in the reported case.
The therapy effectively addressed the symptomatic superficial lymphatic malformation.

No immediate complications or significant side effects were noted.

Implications:

Pulsed dye laser therapy represents a potential alternative treatment for lymphangioma circumscriptum.
This approach may be particularly beneficial for superficial lymphatic malformations containing blood.
Further research could establish pulsed dye laser as a standard therapeutic option, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing surgical burdens.
