Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a benign disease of the lymph ducts and an unusual pathologic process that rarely affects the vulva. The etiology of this lesion is not clear, but obstruction of the lymph vessels has been suggested as a possible cause in some cases. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with lesions similar to lymphangioma circumscriptum of the vulva and chronic idiopathic lymphedema of the lower right limb. Because there was no obvious cause, we propose that the lymphangioma was caused by the lymphedema.

A 65-year-old woman on whom a cardiac catherization using iodine contrast had been performed developed 5 days later acute renal failure, respiratory insufficiency and cutaneous lesions consisting of two great vegetating masses located on both cheeks and pustular vesicular lesions on the extremities. A fortnight later, the patient died. We would like to stress this case because of the exceptional nature of vegetating iododerma at present, and the importance of recognizing a possibly fatal disease.
