CARMONA, MF et al. Circumscribed lymphangioma of the glans penis, with surgical resolution. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2021, vol.102, n.4, pp.1-10. ISSN 1851-300X.

Circumscribed lymphangioma (CL) is a rare and benign condition, characterized mainly by malformation of the lymphatic vessels of the skin. It has a congenital or acquired etiology, the latter due to secondary effects such as radiotherapy, infections or surgical procedures.

We present the case of a 75-year-old patient, with a surgical history of phimosis at 29 years of age, and subsequent development of circumscribed lymphangioma of the glans penis diagnosed 46 years later. The definitive treatment proposed in consultation with Urology was surgical resection due to the low frequency of recurrences.

Keywords : lymphangioma; lymphangioma of the glans penis; lymphatic vessel malformation,glans surgery.
