In our opinion, the value of the article would have been even greater if the authors had analyzed the possible role of imiquimod therapy in the pathogenesis of the lymphangioma.</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is possible that the imiquimod therapy may, while resolving the infectious process, have given rise to lymphedema and that this condition then favored the development of the lymphangioma. Edema and lymphedema are adverse effects reported to be associated with imiquimod treatment. These conditions may resolve rapidly (for example, in the genital area),<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> or persist for months or even years (reported in 1 case on the cheek following prolonged use of imiquimod to treat lentigo maligno melanoma).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> The influence of lymphedema on the development of lymphangiomas is also well known.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2,5</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We do not know whether the initial diagnosis of genital warts was confirmed by histopathology. If that diagnosis was not confirmed, it is possible that the earlier lesions were, in fact, lymphangioma. In that event, the interest of the case would be in the partial response to treatment with imiquimod. Imiquimod has been shown to be an effective therapy in some cases of lymphangioma circumscriptum. Occasionally, as occurred in this case, the lesion recurs months later.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> It is thought that imiquimod has an antiangiogenic effect and induces apoptosis of the tumor cells.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6,7</span></a></p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion, we found this recent report of a cases of acquired lymphangioma circumscriptum very interesting. It would be important to know what imiquimod regimen was used and the duration of treatment, as this information could be used to hypothesize about the possible role of imiquimod in the development of the lymphangioma.</p></span>" "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "etiqueta" => "☆" "nota" => "<p class="elsevierStyleNotepara" id="npar0005">Please cite this article as: Monteagudo B, Figueroa O, Varela-Veiga A, Suárez-Amor O.
