Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a hamartomatous vascular malformation of lymphatic channels. The etiology is not fully understood. It is usually congenital. Lesions are characterized as thin-walled and grouped vesicles. Lesions are usually seen on proximal extremities, shoulder, axilla, abdomen and neck. They are rarely seen on genital and oral mucosa. Our case was 20 years old male suffering from growing, pain and burning of tongue for 2 months durations. There was a plaque consisted of grouped vesicles on tongue in dermatological examination. Biopsy was obtained. LC was diagnosed. We decided to report this case since acquired LC on tongue and macroglossi is very rare in literature.

“…Secondary lymphedema is much more frequent than primary (Planinšek Ručigaj T, 2010). The causes are summarized in Table 2 (Gaber 2009, Mortimer 2010). In the Western world, surgery and radiation therapy for cancer (eg.…”

“…Conversely, LDS and Meige forms of primary lymphoedema can both present at puberty with similar lower limb lymphedema but have different genotypes and different mechanisms; LDS is associated with hyperplasia and valve reflux of collecting lymphatics whereas Meige's disease is associated with hypoplasia of collecting vessels. In the future, classification of lymphoedema is likely to be based on phenotype, unless the genotype is known (Mortimer 2010). The development of lymphangiography in the 1950s resulted in a radiological classification: aplasia (no formed lymph pathways found), hypoplasia (lymphatics smaller of fewer than normal) and hyperplasia (lymphatics larger and more numerous).…”

“…There is a simple classification by age of onset without reference to etiology or other clinical features into three types based on age at first appearance of disease: congenital lymphedema, which typically develops within two years of life, lymphedema praecox (present <35 years of age), and lymphedema tarda (first present >35 years of age). The problem can be unilateral or bilateral and may be familial or sporadic (Gaber 2009, Mortimer 2010, Moneta 2009). Primary lymphedema often occurs in the lower extremities, and affects women more often than men (Browse et al, 1985).…”

“…Lymphedema is swelling due to excess accumulation of lymph in the tissues caused by inadequate lymph drainage (Mortimer, 2010). The protein-rich lymph accumulates in tissue when reabsorption is hindered or when the lymphatics are absent or blocked (Gaber, 2009).…”

Lipedema is a condition characterized by swelling and enlargement of the lower limbs due to abnormal deposition of subcutaneous fat. Lipedema is an under-recognized condition, often misdiagnosed as lymphedema or dismissed as simple obesity. We present a series of pedigrees and propose that lipedema is a genetic condition with either X-linked dominant inheritance or more likely, autosomal dominant inheritance with sex limitation. Lipedema appears to be a condition almost exclusively affecting females, presumably estrogen-requiring as it usually manifests at puberty. Lipedema is an entity distinct from obesity, but may be wrongly diagnosed as primary obesity, due to clinical overlap. The phenotype suggests a condition distinct from obesity and associated with pain, tenderness, and easy bruising in affected areas.
