    Lymphangioma circumscriptum, a rare skin disorder, can involve deeper lymphatic structures, leading to extremity enlargement. This case highlights the importance of recognizing this rare presentation.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Vascular Malformations
    • Lymphatic System

    Background:

    • Lymphangioma circumscriptum is typically a benign, superficial lymphatic malformation.
    • Deeper lymphatic involvement is exceptionally rare in lymphangioma circumscriptum.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with classic lymphangioma circumscriptum on the inner thigh.
    • The condition was unexpectedly associated with deep lymphatic malformation.
    • Significant extremity enlargement was noted.

    Findings:

    • This case confirms that lymphangioma circumscriptum can extend beyond superficial lymphatic structures.
    • Deep lymphatic involvement presents with significant clinical manifestations, including limb hypertrophy.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider deeper lymphatic involvement in cases of lymphangioma circumscriptum, especially with extremity enlargement.
    • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for appropriate management of this rare condition.
