Malformation involving primarily lymphatic vessels. Clinically, it appears as numerous small vesicle-like lesions grouped in a plaque.

Dermoscopy[1]:

Lacunar pattern composed of :

  • Clear to tan lacunae surrounded by pale septa if there is no inclusion of blood in the lacunae
  • Yellow to pink lacunae alternating with dark red or bluish lacunae, if there is inclusion of blood in the lacunae
  • Hypopyon-like feature (half and half blIster): a sign observed when the blood inside the lacunae accumulates in the lowest part of the lacunae due to sedimentation, resembling the appearance of the hypopion in the eye
