Treatment of Lymphangioma Circumscriptum with CO2 Laser: A case report
Authors
Abstract:
Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a congenital lymphatic malformation that results in gradual dilatation of lymphatic vessels and development of lymphatic cisterns. The treatment of choice is radical surgery. Other treatment methods including cryotherapy, sclerosing agent injections, radiation therapy and CO2 laser were suggested. We report successful treatment of a 14-year-old boy affected with lymphangioma with CO2 laser.

A 16-year-old girl presented with a 9-year history of vesicles on the vulva. She had initially taken a wait-and-see approach, but required treatment because of bleeding. Histological examination of a biopsied vesicle revealed dilated lymph channels in the upper dermis, suggesting lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC). The challenge for this pathology has been to find a conservative treatment with lo...
