Özet
Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a rare benign skin disorder of lymphatic channels in the deep dermis and subcutaneous layers. It is usually found on the proximal extremity, trunk, and axilla, which has an abundant lymphatic system, but rarely involves the vulva, penis, scrotum, gingiva, tongue, and even the conjunctiva. Typically fluid filled vesicles that contain lymphatic fluid with frogspawn-like appearance are seen in any part of body. Vulvar LC is very rare and either a congenital or an acquired condition following damage to previously normal lymphatics. In this report, two uncommon cases with acquired vulvar LC between 2008-2014 years mimicking genital warts have been presented. These cases are a 23-year-old female patient with edema, genital wart- like papular lesions in the vulva secondary to bilateral leg venous insufficiency and 61- year-old female patient with extensive vulvar papulovesicular lesions secondary to operated ovary carcinoma.
