title: Lymphangioma circumscriptum of the vulva. A report of two cases.
abstract: Lymphangioma circumscriptum is an uncommon dermatologic problem that only rarely affects the vulva. It is considered to be a circumscribed developmental defect of lymphatic tissue in the dermis. We encountered two patients whose clinical manifestations required management with extensive vulvar surgery. These cases illustrate the spectrum of presentation of this disorder and its treatment.
