title: Hypopyon-like features: new dermoscopic criteria in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous lymphangioma circumscriptum and haemangiomas?
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Lymphangiomas are congenital malformations of the lymphatic system characterized by clusters of translucent vesicles. Dermoscopically, yellow and bluish lacunea according to the lymphatic or haematic content were described previously, but it is difficult to distinguish them from haemangioma.
  
  
  METHODS
  In nine patients with cutaneous lymphangioma circumscriptum (CLC), hypopyon-like features were observed. None of the 10 patients with haemangioma had this finding.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hypopyon-like features can be a useful dermoscopic pattern in differentiating CLC from haemangioma.
