Vulvar lymphangiectasia due to recurrent cellulitis
Abstract
We describe a 42-year-old woman in whom extensive lymphangiectasia of the vulva developed after recurrent severe episodes of cellulitis, producing changes rather similar to those seen in lymphangioma circumscriptum. We suspect that an underlying lymphatic abnormality predisposed her to cellulitis, resulting in local lymphatic fibrosis and vulvar lymphangiectasia.
