Abstract:
Lymphangioma is a rare proliferation of the lymphatic system which is classified as either lymphangioma circumscription or carvenous lymphangioma. The involvement of the vulva is very rare and only a small number of case reports have been made on carvenous lymphangioma of the vulva.

The mass was removed surgically and pathology confirmed as carvenous lymphangioma, with no recurrences to date.
