Resection of lymphatic malformation of the scrotum.
It is important for clinicians to consider lymphatic malformations in the differential diagnosis of chronic skin lesions, no matter where they appear anatomically. We report a case of deep surgical excision of an extensive lymphatic malformation of the scrotum using regional flaps from uninvolved scrotal tissue. Removal of the lesion not only allowed the patient more comfort but also may have ultimately cured his symptomatology.
