Abstract
Angioma Serpiginosum
Highlights
We describes a 13-year-old girl with asymmetric, vivid red, punctuate eruptions on her left inner thigh for 3 years
There is a lack of consensus as to whether angioma serpiginosum reflects a type of capillary nevus, a vascular malformation or a vascular neoplasm
Chen et al [2] recently described a 15-year-old girl with Angioma Serpiginosum (AS) presenting in an asymmetric, systematized segmental pattern, reflecting cutaneous mosaicism, and suggested that AS might be best categorized as a vascular nevus
Summary
We describes a 13-year-old girl with asymmetric, vivid red, punctuate eruptions on her left inner thigh for 3 years. A 13-year-old girl was referred to our out-patient clinic with a history of asymmetric punctuate eruptions involving her left inner thigh for 3 years. Dermatological examination revealed multiple, minute, bright red, punctuate macules on the left inner thigh. Skin biopsy was performed and revealed dilated capillaries with endothelial proliferation and a thickening of the capillary walls in the dermal papilla and subpapillary regions of the dermis.
