Introduction: Circumscribed lymphangioma is not a very frequent lymphatic malformation, it appears in early childhood. It is characterized by multiple vesicles of clear or serohematic content, clustered with a typical herpetiform pattern. Sometimes, it affects the hypodermis, muscles or visceras, what interferes greatly with the therapeutic boarding. Case presentation: A 26 years old male that since early childhood was suffering from an eruption in the internal upper face of the right arm and in the right axillary pit with an herpetic pattern showing vesicular lesions of clear content in some of the lesions and serohematic in others. Dermatoscopy: was carried out for the clinical diagnosis, a biopsy was conducted for confirming the dermatoscopic and clinical suspicion. Results: Dermatoscopy showed an image of multiple translucid lakes with colors ranging from pink and dark red , of irregular size and distribution separated by paler septas forming a sacciform pattern on a pink base depending on the lesion. Histopathology: Regarding the histopathological tests, lymphatic vascular ectosia at the superficial and deep dermis with normal endothelium. Treatment: As the extension and location of the lesion was not very compromising it was decided to maintain and expectant behaviour.
