Abstract
Acquired cutaneous lymphangiomata are characterized clinically by the presence of a circumscribed eruption of thin-walled, translucent vesic les. However, epithelial changes and tissue organization may occasiona lly give rise to firmer nodules or even warty lesions.1 When these ari se on the vulva, diagnostic difficulties may ensue. We report two pati ents in whom vulval lymphangiomata resulting from treatment for cervic al neoplasia were mistaken for viral warts.
