Abstract
Cutaneous lymphangioma circumscriptum after mastectomy for breast cancer
Highlights
Sir, Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a superficial cutaneous cystic malformation secondary to abnormalities of lymphatic development [1]
Acquired LC is reported to occur from trauma, as from surgery, radiotherapy, or the combination thereof [2]
A 42-yearold female, with a history of vitiligo persistent for ten years prior, was diagnosed with carcinoma of the left breast in 2017. She underwent a mastectomy of the left breast with axillary lymph node clearance followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy
Summary
Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a superficial cutaneous cystic malformation secondary to abnormalities of lymphatic development [1]. LC is a rare benign tumor, and so are cutaneous lymphangiomas, accounting for 4% of all vascular tumors [1]. We report a case of cutaneous lymphangioma complicating the radiosurgical treatment of breast cancer. She underwent a mastectomy of the left breast with axillary lymph node clearance followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
