Abstract
- Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a rare, congenital benign hamartous malformation caused by the saccular dilatation of lymph channels lined by normal, single-cell, lymphatic endothelia that present as local eruptions of persistent, grouped, translucent vesicles. The predilection sites of lymphangioma circumscriptum are the tongue, axilla, abdomen, buttocks & groin, but scalp lesions are rare. We report a case of lymphangioma circumscriptum on the scalp of a 12 year old girl, which resembled a nevus sebaceous. She had a solitary, asymptomatic, 4.5 x 4.5 cm sized, normal skin-colored to yellowish grouped vesicular plaque on the scalp.
