Abstract
Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LS) is a superficial lymphatic malformation which consists of dilated lymphatic channels. Clinically, it presents as grouped translucent vesicles, which usually contain clear lymph fluid but may also contain red blood cells due to hemorrhage. It has been suggested that pulsed dye laser (PDL), which efficacy is known in vascular lesions, has also been successfully used for such lympangiomas with hemorrhagic character. In the literature, two patients who had LS and whose lesions responded well to PDL treatment have been reported. Here, we describe a 14-year-old woman with LS who had vesicles on her left shoulder some of which showed hemorrhagic character and who gave an inadequate partial response to the treatment with PDL.
Özet
Lenfanjioma sirkumskriptum (LS) genişlemiş dermal lenfatik damarlardan oluşan yüzeyel bir vaskular malformasyondur. Klinik olarak içeriğinde genellikle berrak lenf sıvısı bulunmakla birlikte bazen hemorajiye bağlı olarak kırmızı kan hücrelerini de içeren gruplaşmış translusan veziküller izlenebilir. Vasküler lezyonlarda etkili olduğu bilinen pulsed dye lazer (PDL)?in bu tip hemorajik özellik gösteren lenfanjiomlarda da başarılı olarak kullanılabileceği ileri sürülmüştür. Literatürde PDL tedavisi uygulanan ve lezyonları büyük oranda gerileyen LS?lu iki olgu bildirilmiştir. Burada sol omzunda bazıları hemorajik karakterde kabarcıkları olan ve PDL tedavisine yetersiz kısmi yanıt veren LS?lu 14 yaşında bir kız olgu sunulmaktadır.
