Abstract

Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a rare benign skin disease involving hamartomatous lymphatic malformation of the deep dermal and subcutaneous lymphatic ducts. Upon occuring in uncommon areas such as axilla, shoulder, groin, and vulva, it is a therapeutic challenge for the dermatologist. Various methods such as surgical excision, lasers, and sclerotherapy have been used in the past to treat this unsightly skin condition. In this article we report the efficacy of a radiofrequency ablation in a female patient with vulvar LC. The treatment efficiency of radiofrequency was satisfactory in our patient without recurrence during the 6-month follow-up period. Based on previous studies, radiofrequency technique is a safe and cost-effective treatment for LC management, as in our case.
