Type: article

Abstract: Lymphangioma circumscriptum, one of the common forms of lymphangioma, can be either congenital or acquired. Various acquired conditions can lead to its causation and one of the causes might be untreated hidradenitis suppurativa. So, this report highlights the need of early interventions for hidradenitis suppurativa as lymphangioma circumscriptum can be one of its consequences later in life. It can occur in various sites, often around neck, axilla, and groin. Post-surgery and radiotherapy, tuberculosis, Crohn's disease are well known cause to develop acquired vulval lymphangioma. Here, we present a case of a 20 years female with acquired vulval lymphangioma secondary to hidradenitis suppurativa which is one of the rare cause for vulval lymphangioma.
