Abstract
Lymphangiectasia is a secondary phenomenon that results from obstruction of previously normal lymphatic systems leading to dilation of the lymphatic vessels. Its occurrence in women is very rare. We report the clinical case of vulvar lymphangiectasia observed in a patient seen in gynecological consultation. The symptomatology was dominated by the appearance of vulvar swelling that had been evolving for 6 months and gradually increased in volume; the patient benefited from an exploration assessment which came back in favor of vulvar lymphangiectasia and was referred to a dermatological consultation for further treatment.
