ABSTRACT
A 23-year-old male patient developed vesicles on the scrotum 5 years prior to this presentation.Then,vesicles gradually affected the whole scrotum,whick easily ruptured due to friction.Physical examination showed diffuse millet-sized vesicles on the scrotum with milky white fluids,and exudates with chyle-like appearance.Histopathological examination revealed proliferating and dilated lymphatic vessels with different sizes of lumens in the dermis.Immunohistochemical study showed positive staining for D2-40 and CD31.The patient was diagnosed with scrotal lymphangioma,and received photodynamic therapy with aminolevulinic acid.After the treatment,the number of vesicles markedly decreased,and no obvious exudates were observed.During 1 year of follow up,no scars or other complications occurred,and no obvious relapse was found.
