Abstract
- Venous lakes are small, bluish-purple, slightly-raised, soft papules or nodules occurring on the exposed skin of elderly people. The lips and ears are the most common sites. Histopathologically, large, dilated and irregular thin-walled venules are located on the upper and mid-dermis. Venous lake is not a rare disease, however, there has been no report of this condition in Korean literature. We report two cases of venous lake together with a review of the pertinent papers.
