Treatment of lymphangioma circumscriptum with sclerotherapy: an ignored effective remedy

Summary Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a rare lymphatic malformation that involves the skin and may extend to subcutaneous tissue and muscle. It usually presents as grouped micro‐ to macroscopic vesicles filled with lymph. Surgical excision has been the standard treatment, but it is associated with scarring, infection, injury to the surrounding structures, and a high recurrence rate. Herein, we report a 24‐year‐old male patient with a lymphangioma circumscriptum on the nape of the neck that was treated with two sessions of an intralesional injection of 1% sodium tetradecyl sulfate sclerotherapy with a very good result. After this treatment, there was no more discharge and a reduction in the lesion’s size by 70%. Sclerotherapy using sodium tetradecyl sulfate can be considered a successful minimally invasive treatment option for lymphangioma circumscriptum.
