Report of 4 cases of vulvar lymphangioma: an update

Abstract

Vulvar Lymphangioma is an infrequent pathology. There are few cases published in the English literature. We present 4 new cases of vulvar lymphangioma (1 acquired and 3 congenital) treated at the vulvar section of Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires. It represents a challenge for clinicians because of its rarity. The main differential diagnosis is genital warts. This disease has cosmetic and psychosexual implications in the patients; therefore surgery with a cosmetic approach is the recommended treatment. Labiaplasty of labia majora and laser CO2 vaporization have similar success and recurrence rates. Conservative management (observation) is a valid option if the patient is asymptomatic.
