“…[4] Lesion recurrence is frequent but resection can be repeated several times with no adverse effects. [8] Examination of the frozen section of the lateral and deep margins of the excised tissue during the surgery helps to reduce the recurrence. [1] Carbon dioxide laser vaporizes the lesion superficially and it seals the underlying lymph vessels and diminishes recurrence.…”

Cutaneous lymphangiectasia, also called as acquired lymphangioma, is a benign cutaneous disorder involving the dermal and subcutaneous lymphatic channels. It can rarely occur on the vulva. We describe a 35-year-old woman who came with multiple raised lesions over the vulva and left upper thigh of 1 year duration. She gave history of getting treated for multiple swellings that developed over right side of the neck and inguinal regions on both sides three decades ago. On local genital examination, the patient had a large polypoidal growth involving both sides of the vulva, left upper thigh, and over pubic area. Multiple linear scars were present over the upper thighs and groin bilaterally. The patient underwent simple vulvectomy and left thigh growth excision. Histopathological examination of the vulvectomy specimen confirmed our diagnosis.

“…1,2,6 Surgical excision is applied more frequently but recurrence can also occur in up to 23% of cases. 1,2,7 In the present case, we opted for watchful waiting because of the young age of the patient, who had not completed her sexual maturation, and because of the high recurrence rates of all available modalities.…”

Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a rare benign disorder of unknown etiology affecting lymph vessels in the deep dermal and subcutaneous layers. The commonest sites of presentation are the axilla, shoulders, groins, tongue and oral cavity. Lymphangioma circumscriptum of the vulva is very rare can be either congenital or secondary to lymphadenectomy or pelvic radiation in patients with genital cancer, genital tuberculosis, Crohn's disease, cellulitis, morbid obesity and immobilization. We report the case of congenital lymphangioma circumscriptum of the vulva in an adolescent with congenital lymphedema of the leg.

“…Mibelli type and angiokeratoma corporis diffusum do not characteristically involve the vulva. 51 Cases of congenital or primary vulvar LC in patients with documented lower extremity edema are more often reported 48,[52][53][54][55] than cases occurring at birth or soon thereafter in the absence of lymphedema. 45,46 When in the vulva, they are called ''vulvar varices,'' and they can be associated with pregnancy.…”

The subepidermal hormonally sensitive tissue of the vulva is anatomically unique and may give rise to a wide variety of vascular tumors. As a consequence, classifying vulvar vascular lesions has been challenging due both to the wide variety of lesions that may be encountered and the heterogeneity in reporting across several disciplines. The purpose of this study is to present an institutional experience of vulvar vascular lesions. Overall, 85 patients were identified over a 26-year period. Vascular lesions belonging to the following classes included (n, %total) benign vascular tumors (32, 38%), dilatations of preexisting vessels (31, 36%), hyperplasia/reactive (7, 8%), tumors with significant vascular component (11, 13%), malformations (3, 4%), and malignant vascular tumors (1, 1%). Two reaction patterns based on vulvar lymphatic pathology were identified: one is a stromal dominant pattern and the other is a vascular dominant pattern. Vulvar vascular malformations and true vascular malignancies, although rare, may have associated high morbidity. To accurately classify vulvar lymphatic lesions, the pathologist must carefully consider the patient's clinical history taking into account features such as preexisting lymphedema.
