dc.description.abstractLymphangioma circumscriptum is a lymphatic malformation that is observed at early ages. It affects mostly the skin and subcutaneous tissues, but may affect all of the body organs and extend to the muscles. A 67-year-old male was referred to our department complaining of vesicular and erythematous lesions on the glans penis and an edematous skin lesion on the penile shaft that had recurred over the last 6 months. The patient had no history of allergy, trauma, drug use, or insect bites. An excisional biopsy taken from the penile skin was diagnosed as lymphangioma circumscriptum. The patient refused surgical excision or other treatment options for the penile lesion. Lymphangioma circumscriptum is predominantly observed at early ages, but it may arise at advanced ages and be confused with other penile lesions. Here, we report a case of penile lymphangioma circumscriptum that was observed at an advanced age to alert physicians to this rare condition and to prevent unnecessary therapy.en_US
