          Abstract

          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 low morbidity and better results than those reported for surgical excision, which has been the mainstay of therapy. In this case, LC of the vulva was successfully treated using a 10,600-nm CO<sub>2</sub> laser and long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser. Use of the 10,600-nm CO<sub>2</sub> laser and long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser appeared effective for treating LC.

          Treatment of lymphangioma circumscriptum with combined radiofrequency current and 900 nm diode laser.

          Paul E Kalish, Deborah Ackerman, Eyal Raveh … (2006)
          Laser treatment of lymphangioma circumscriptum is a major challenge because of the persistent nature of the disease and the large variations in lesion size, depth, and anatomic location. To determine the safety and effectiveness of electro-optical synergy, a new technology that combines a 900 nm diode laser with radiofrequency current, for the treatment of lymphangioma circumscriptum. Six patients with Fitzpatrick skin types II to IV were treated for lymphangioma circumscriptum with 1 to 3 sessions of simultaneous radiofrequency energy (60-80 J/cm3) and optical diode laser energy (fluence 90-100 J/cm2). Lesion clearance was evaluated by three specialists on the basis of digital photographs taken before the first treatment and 1 and 2 months after the last treatment. Results were rated as "excellent" in four patients and "good" in two patients. Transient swelling, erythema, and pain were present in all patients, and ulcers and scarring in two patients. The combination of laser light and radiofrequency energy is effective and relatively safe for the treatment of lymphangioma circumscriptum. It provides additional heating of the blood vesicles without increasing the laser intensity and allows the clinician to treat the clear lymphatic component, which lacks a specific optical chromophore. Side effects are tolerable.

            Recurrent vulval congenital lymphangioma circumscriptum--a case report and literature review.

            K K Roy, Misha R Agarwal, S. Agarwal … (2006)
            Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a defect of lymphatics in deep dermis. This abnormal saccular dilatation of lymphatics occurs in dermal papillae visible as vesicles clinically. The entity may be acquired or congenital. The occurrence of congenital variety of LC in vulva is extremely rare, with only few cases reported in the literature. We communicate one such case presenting as recurrent vulval growth along with a review of literature and treatment modalities.
