ABSTRACT
Lymphangioma is a rare proliferation of the lymphatic system which is classified as either lymphangioma circumscription or carvenous lymphangioma. The involvement of the vulva is very rare and only a small number of case reports have been made on carvenous lymphangioma of the vulva. We herein report a case of 20-year-old unmarried girl presented with gradually expanding and painless tumor of the left labium majus. The mass was removed surgically and pathology confirmed as carvenous lymphangioma, with no recurrences to date.

Lymphangioma is a rare harmatoma which is hisotopathologically characterized by lymphatic vessel dilatation but with normal endothelial cell lining and clear fluid. Most lesions develop in infancy and are classified into variable categories. We present a case of lymphangioma circumscriptum that developed after two carvenous hemangioma operations. A 19 year old male was operated on twice at 1 and 3 years of age due to a carvenous hemangioma on his abdominal wall. At 19 years old, he presented with grouped, dark-brown vesicles resembling frogspawn. Histopathologically, there were typical features of lymphangioma.
