Extensive scrotal lymphangioma circumscriptum: A case report with successful treatment with staged CO2 laser ablation

Scrotal lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is an uncommon, benign skin disorder with multiple treatment modalities. We present staged treatment of extensive LC of the scrotum using staged carbon dioxide (CO2) laser ablation. We achieved near complete resolution of lesions with excellent cosmesis in th...

description Scrotal lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is an uncommon, benign skin disorder with multiple treatment modalities. We present staged treatment of extensive LC of the scrotum using staged carbon dioxide (CO2) laser ablation. We achieved near complete resolution of lesions with excellent cosmesis in the span of four months, from presentation to treatment. Therefore, the use of staged CO2 laser ablation should be strongly considered when LC presents in the genitourinary (GU) system, as it can lead to good cosmetic outcomes and prompt symptomatic relief in a short period of time.
