“…A peri-umbilical dermatosis may be significant in heralding certain intra-abdominal diseases including neoplasia [6]. Other reported conditions sharing a similar clinical presentation and anatomical location to our case include benign lymphangiomatous papules of the skin due to obstructed lymphatic flow caused by an ovarian fibroma [6], multilocular mesothelial proliferation (MMP) of the umbilicus [7],and adenomatoid tumour of the umbilicus [8]. MMP, also known as multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma, may mimic a macrocystic LM intra-abdominally [9].…”

A 12-year-old African female presented with a 6-year history of relatively asymptomatic umbilical lesions. On clinical examination, the lesions were papillomatous, violaceous nodules and translucent papules with a serosanguineous discharge. The lesions emanated from the umbilicus and extended peri-umbilically. Histopathology confirmed a lymphangioma and MRI and CT imaging revealed multiple intra-abdominal lymphatic malformations. The patient was referred to plastic surgery for further management. Due to the extent of involvement, surgical resection was an option but currently the therapeutic approach is sclerotherapy with bleomycin.

“…5,8 Others have observed that AVLs histologically display dilated vascular spaces within the papillary dermis with plump endothelial cells, differentiated from angiosarcoma by lack of destruction of adnexa, localized growth, and little penetration into reticular dermis or subcutaneous tissue. 5,8,11,12,14,18,20,21 Although angiosarcomas usually lack chronic inflammation, circumscription, and stromal projections into the lumen, these features are commonly seen in AVLs. 5,8 Dissection of dermal collagen can be present in both entities.…”
