HS: hidradenitis suppurativa LC: lymphangioma circumscriptum PP: pseudoverrucous papules SCC: squamous cell carcinoma INTRODUCTION Acquired lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC), also known as localized LC, is characterized by small, clear, fluid-filled, clustered vesicles and papules that resemble a gelatinous mass of ‘‘frog spawn’’ on the surface of the skin. We present a case of genital LC associated with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), which is significant because it represents a rare causal relationship.
