Acquired lymphangiectasia is an unique entity encountered by an urologist which is marked by occlusion of lymphatics associated with abnormal permanent dilation of cutaneous lymphatics. There is presence of thin-walled ectatic vessels in the superficial and mid dermis, which develops later in life. Trauma, infection, radiation or surgery are important causes of this rare aetiology. Diagnosis is always demanding, as it closely resembles many benign aetiology. Meticulous decision-making and appropriate treatment should be chosen for the management.
