Sumario:INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is the most common form of cutaneous lymphangioma. However, scrotal LC is rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 37-year-old patient with a complaint of a slow growing painless scrotal grouped lesions present for the past ten years diagnosed as LC. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The disorder is clinically identified by translucent or hazy vesicles of different sizes which are grouped like frog spawn or, less commonly, as diffuse swelling to a particular area. The definitive diagnosis is usually made by biopsy. LC tends to be asymptomatic. However, it can be complicated. The treatment involves medical and surgical procedures. CONCLUSION: Scrotal LC is rare and tends to mimic certain infectious diseases. The clinicians should be aware of LC in adult males without a prior disease to avoid missing the diagnosis and to prevent inappropriate treatment.
