Abstract

We present a case of nevus flammeus associated with angiokeratoma of Fordyce and lymphangioma circumscriptum in a 26 year-old Korean man. We have known that the congenital hemangiomas may be associated with many syndromes such as Kasabacb-Merritt syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome and etc. Recently the congenital hemangiomas associated with angiokeratoma or lymphangioma were reported in several literatures, Watson and McCarthy reported that it seemed to be established that three types of benign vascular tumors had a common origin and grew in an identical fashion by projecting buds of endothelial tissue. So the congenital hemangiomas may have a close association with angiokeratoma or lymphangioma.
