Acquired cutaneous lymphangiectasia.
We report a case of acquired cutaneous lymphangiectasia associated with underlying malignancy, and following an arthrotomy. Clinical and histological features were identical with those of acquired lymphangioma. Lymphangiography showed signs of acquired lymphatic obstruction. Both the underlying tumour and the arthrotomy were thought to be contributory factors.
