Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a rare, congenital benign hamartous malformation caused by the saccular dilatation of lymph channels lined by normal, single-cell, lymphatic endothelia that present as local eruption of persistent, grouped traslucent vesicles. The predilection sites of lymphangioma circumscriptum are tongue, axilla, abdomen, buttocks & groin, but back lesions are rare. We report a case of lymphangioma circumscriptum on the back of a 13 years old boy. He had a solitary, asymptomatic, 3.0 x 2.5 cm sized, normal skin-colored to erythematous grouped vesicular plaque on the back.
