“…CLC displaying the latter pattern might occasionaly be difficult to discriminate from haemangiomas [2,3]. An additional dermoscopic clue has recently been described as the “hypopyon-like feature.” As sedimentation of blood occurs, its corpuscles aggregate according to their density, with cellular components lying at the bottom and serum at the upper part, resulting in a color transition from dark to light in some lacunae, creating a similar effect to that seen on the eye—the hypopyon [4].…”

Lymphangiomas are congenital lymphatic malformations. They are clinically characterized by clusters of translucent vesicles, and on dermoscopy, yellow lacunae surrounded by pale septa as well as reddish to bluish lacunae have been described. A young male presented with a seven-year history of a vesicular lesion. Dermoscopy revealed multiple white-yellowish well-circumscribed roundish areas (lacunae) surrounded by pale septa. A few lacunae contained blood, which was characteristically accumulated in the lowest part of the lacuna, resulting in an appearance similar to the so-called “hypopyon” of the eye. We suggest a new “dermatologic” metaphoric term to desrcibe this peculiar feature (half-and-half lacuna).

“…[10] The differential diagnosis include lymphangioma circumscriptum, molluscum contagiosum, and genital warts. Investigations such as dermoscopy,[11] lymphangiography, and magnetic resonance imaging have been used. [12] The latter is done to know the extent of involvement prior to therapeutic intervention.…”

Secondary lymphangioma of vulva: A report of two cases

Secondary lymphangiomas or acquired lymphangiomas of vulva represent dilatation of upper dermal lymphatics following damage to previously normal deep lymphatics. They have been reported to occur following various infections, surgeries and radiotherapy which can cause damage to deep lymphatics.Treatment options in the management of secondary lymphangiomas include surgical resection, carbon dioxide laser vaporisation, sclerosing agents etc. We report two cases of secondary lymphangioma of vulva that followed radiotherapy for carcinoma of cervix. Both the patients were treated successfully by surgery.

Genişlemiş lenfatiklerin içine kırmızı kan hücrelerinin ekstravazasyonunun mekanizması net olarak bilinmemekle birlikte, kapillerler ve küçük lenfatikler arasındaki çok küçük kanalların rolü olabileceği ileri sürülmüştür 1,5 .

ÖzetLenfanjioma sirkumskriptum (LS) genişlemiş dermal lenfatik damarlardan oluşan yüzeyel bir vaskular malformasyondur. Klinik olarak içeriğinde genellikle berrak lenf sıvısı bulunmakla birlikte bazen hemorajiye bağlı olarak kırmızı kan hücrelerini de içeren gruplaşmış translusan veziküller izlenebilir. Vasküler lezyonlarda etkili olduğu bilinen pulsed dye lazer (PDL)'in bu tip hemorajik özellik gösteren lenfanjiomlarda da başarılı olarak kullanılabileceği ileri sürülmüştür. Literatürde PDL tedavisi uygulanan ve lezyonları büyük oranda gerileyen LS'lu iki olgu bildirilmiştir. Burada sol omzunda bazıları hemorajik karakterde kabarcıkları olan ve PDL tedavisine yetersiz kısmi yanıt veren LS'lu 14 yaşında bir kız olgu sunulmaktadır. (Türk derm 2012; 46: 107-9) Anah tar Ke li me ler: Lenfanjioma sirkumskriptum, pulsed dye lazer Sum maryLymphangioma circumscriptum (LS) is a superficial lymphatic malformation which consists of dilated lymphatic channels. Clinically, it presents as grouped translucent vesicles, which usually contain clear lymph fluid but may also contain red blood cells due to hemorrhage. It has been suggested that pulsed dye laser (PDL), which efficacy is known in vascular lesions, has also been successfully used for such lympangiomas with hemorrhagic character. In the literature, two patients who had LS and whose lesions responded well to PDL treatment have been reported. Here, we describe a 14-year-old woman with LS who had vesicles on her left shoulder some of which showed hemorrhagic character and who gave an inadequate partial response to the treatment with PDL.

Dermoscopic Features of Cutaneous Lymphangioma Circumscriptum

Abstract: On dermoscopy, CLC was characterized by a lacunar pattern. Lesions with a marked hematic content show dermoscopic findings indistinguishable from those of hemangioma.
