Abstract
A malformation of the lymphatic system underlies the development of lymphangioma, a benign tumor composed of dilated lymph vessels. The most common location is the mucosa of the mouth and tongue and the skin of the hands and trunk. Vulvar lymphangioma occurs rather rarely. The paper describes a clinical case of cystic lymphangioma of the vulva, which was primarily diagnosed as herpesvirus and papillomavirus infection. The early diagnosis of anogenital skin neoplasms allows timely and the most effective therapy to be performed.
