Multiple subcutaneous reactive angioendotheliomatosis in a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome.

Abstract

We report a case of multiple subcutaneous hemangiomas in a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome accompanied by severe pulmonary embolism. The hemangiomas were considered to be reactive due to the presence of thrombi, and they had increased in number over the years. We report a very rare instance of multiple RAE developing solely in the subcutaneous tissue and in the absence of superficial symptoms, which has never been reported in the literature.
