  • Vascular Malformations

Background:

  • Lymphangioma circumscriptum is the most common cutaneous form of lymphangioma.
  • It is a benign vascular tumor characterized by dilated lymphatic vessels in the skin.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old man presented with multiple 1- to-4-mm vesicles on his right thigh and inguinal fold.
  • The vesicles were clear, pink, red, and black, overlying hyperpigmented, erythematous, and indurated plaques.

Findings:

  • Clinical presentation and histopathologic features confirmed lymphangioma circumscriptum.
  • Key dermatologic findings include multiple clear vesicles, which can vary in color (pink, red, black).

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for managing lymphangioma circumscriptum.
