Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a form of lymphangioma characterised by benign dilation of lymphatic channels, which affects the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The most common sites of LC are mucosa of mouth, tongue, groin, axilla, trunk and proximal region of extremities. Vulva is a rare site of LC. In this report, we are presenting a case of LC of vulva occurring in a 60-year-old female without any obvious reason. The patient presented with multiple genital wart-like papular lesions in the vulva. Biopsy of lesion reveals LC. She was treated with vulvectomy and showed no sign of recurrence till date.
