Vulval lymphangiectasia secondary to tuberculosis: a case report and review of literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
Cutaneous lymphangiectasia, also called as acquired lymphangioma, is a benign cutaneous disorder involving the dermal and subcutaneous lymphatic channels. The cutaneous lesions of lymphangiectasia can range from clear, fluid-filled blisters to smooth, flesh-colored nodules. Coexisting lymphedema is present in most patients with acquired lymphangioma. It can rarely occur on the vulva with less than 30 cases reported so far. We describe a 40-year-old nulliparous woman who came with multiple raised lesions over the vulva. She gave history of getting treated for abdominal tuberculosis in the past. On local genital examination, the patient had multiple, small nodular lesions involving both sides of the vulva. Multiple linear scars were present over the vulva bilaterally. The patient underwent vulval growth excision biopsy. Histopathological examination of the specimen confirmed our diagnosis.
