Aquired lymphangiectasis of the vulva is an uncommon condition and only few cases have been reported following tuberculous lymphadenitis. A case is reported that was successfully treated with a unique combination therapy of radiofrequency ablation and sclerotherapy with polidocanol. There was no recurrence at two years of follow-up.
