  Fig. 1 A 10-year-old boy presented with multiple skin-colored papules (indicated by black arrows) on the scrotum, which interestingly became more prominent with the patient (A) in the erect position, and less prominent with the patient (B) in the supine position. (C) Histopathological examination of a representative papule from the scrotum revealed multiple dilated channels on the upper dermis (H&E, ×100). (D) Endothelial cells of dilated channels showed positivity in D2-40 immunohistochemistry (D2-40, ×100).
