Abstract

We report a case of penile lymphangioma circumscriptum developed in a 22- year-old male soldier. Rice-sized papule on glans penis was noted at birth and progressed to yellow straw-colored, peanut-sized, asymptomatic grouped papulovesicles resembling frog spawn. The predilection sites of lymphangioma circumscriptum are the abdomen, axilla and tongue. Glans penis is a very rare site. Histopathologic findings showed papillornatosis, hyperkeratosis and cystically dilated lymph vessels lined by a single layer of endothelial cells.
