DERMOSCOPY OF LYMPHANGIOMA CIRCUMSCRIPTUM NEVIFORME - A CASE REPORT

Abstract

The Circumscriptum Neviform-like Lymphangioma(CNL) is a lymphatic malformation clinically characteri- zed by the presence of multiple vesicules of a clear or a serum/hematic content, grouped in a typical “herpetiform-like pattern”. Ocasionally, the CNL may affect the hypoderm, muscle and/or other organs, which may turn particularly difficult its therapeutics. We present a clinical case of a 17 year old patient with CNL referred to the Dermatology De- partment in order to be done a clinical evaluation, namely if the medication was the appropiate one. In this article we describe the dermatoscopic pattern of the CNL as well as the main differential diagnosis.
