title: Zosteriform lymphangioma circumscriptum.
abstract: Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a form of lymphangioma involving skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is evident as translucent vesicles of varying size, though commonly 2 to 4 mm, and of a pink, red, or black hue. It is localized to the dermis, frequently extending deeply and laterally. LC may resemble other entities, such as metastatic carcinoma of the skin, lymphangiectasis, or herpes zoster. We report an unusual verruciform, zosteriform form of LC.
