description | As scrotal simple lymphangioma is a rare benign proliferation of lymphatic vessels in the scrotum, a few reports were documented. A 68-year-old man gradually developed vesicles on the scrotum for ten years and easily ruptured due to friction. Physical examination showed diffuse millet-sized vesicles on the scrotum with milky white fluids and chyle-like exudates. Histopathological examination revealed proliferating and dilated lymphatic vessels with various sizes of lumens in the dermis. An immunohistochemical study showed positive staining for D2-40 and CD31. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with scrotal lymphangioma and received carbon dioxide laser therapy. After the treatment, the vesicles markedly decreased, and no apparent exudates were observed. During one year of the follow-up, no relapse, scars, or other complications occurred. |
