Abstract
Acquired vulvar lymphangioma (AVL) is a rare condition characterized by abnormal lymphatic vessels in the vulva. We describe a 10-year-old female patient who presented with vulvar swelling for 23 days. She has no history of sexual assault and irradiation. Two months ago, the patient underwent CO2 laser surgery for a sebaceous gland nevus on the left labia majora, resulting in delayed healing and residual scar tissue. Twenty-three days ago, swelling appeared in the external genitalia, accompanied by mild pain that worsened after activity and lessened when lying down. Treatment with anti-infection and anti-allergy medications at the previous hospital did not show significant improvement. Histopathological examination and genetic testing confirmed Our diagnosis of acquired vulvar lymphangioma with lymphedema.
期刊介绍:
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the latest clinical and experimental research in all aspects of skin disease and cosmetic interventions. Normal and pathological processes in skin development and aging, their modification and treatment, as well as basic research into histology of dermal and dermal structures that provide clinical insights and potential treatment options are key topics for the journal.
Patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new management options to optimize outcomes for target conditions constitute major areas of interest.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of clinical studies, reviews and original research in skin research and skin care.
All areas of dermatology will be covered; contributions will be welcomed from all clinicians and basic science researchers globally.
