Unusual Presentation of Lymphangioma Circumscriptum of the Vulva: In Association With Crohn Disease.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a rare benign condition, with marked dilation of surface lymphatic vessels in the deep and subcutaneous layers. Vulvar LC can become a highly disabling condition with vulvar discomfort, itching, burning and lymph seeping being the dominant symptoms. Biopsy is mandatory for the diagnosis. There is no consensus on the standard treatment for vulvar LC and recurrence is frequent. In complex cases with wide disease location, combination of different treatment options, such as abrasive methods and surgery, may lead to the best clinical and aesthetical result, with extended disease-free periods. We present a patient with a long history of Crohn disease with multiple pelvic surgeries who developed an extensive vulvar LC.
