Two Cases of Angiokeratoma Circumscriptum

Abstract

We report two cases of angiokeratoma circumcriptum. One of them was 20 year- old male, who had multiple dark erythematous 0.5 cm to 2 cm sized keratotic papules and nodules surrounding irregular shaped erythema scattered or grouped on the right lower leg. The other case was 36 year-old male, who had Q. 7 cm sized dark erythematous papules and 2 cm sized dark brown colored nodule with central ulceration on the medial part of the left upper thigh, The two patients had skin lesions at birth. Histopathologic finding disclosed markedly dilated vessels containing many red blood cells mainly in the papillary dermis, which in some, were surrounded by elongated rete ridge. Cavernous hemangioma like lesion was present in the lower dermis and subcutaneous fat in case 2.
