Abstract
|
|
|
Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a rare disease and the lesions are indistinguishable, clinically and histologically, from lymphangiectasis. The only difference is that lymphangiectasis is usually bilateral and develops in adult or late life, ie, secondary to irradiation, surgical interruption, or some malignancies, but lymphangioma circumscriptum is congenital disease or develops soon after birth.
The patient with lymphangioma circumscriptum visited to Dermatologic Department of Severance Hospital in December, 1972. The result of clinicopathological findings observed in above patient were presented.
Since 8 years ago, a 8 year old house-wife has been suffered from erythema and induration in the right side of buttock, and the lesions changed to deep-seated and grouped vesicles resembling frog spawn which were purplish in color and tense in consistence during last 2 years. The whole gross lesion was estimated to palm size. There were no evidences of irradiation, surgical interrupion or some malignancies.
The histological picture showed cystically dilated lymph vessels lined by a single layer of endothelium in the upper most portion of the dermis, and also many dilated lymphatics with newly formed vessels in the deep dermis.
