A case of acquired tufted angioma in adulthood / F. Pesapane, G. Nazzaro, S. Alberti Violetti, R. Gianotti. - In: ANAIS BRASILEIROS DE DERMATOLOGIA. - ISSN 0365-0596. - 90:3(2015 Jun), pp. S16-S18.
Abstract:
Tufted angioma is a rare vascular tumor whose name derives from its histopathological appearance, characterized by tufts of capillaries within the dermis. Its etiology and pathogenesis are uncertain. Tufted anÂgioma typically occurs during infancy or early childhood and displays various clinical patterns. It may present as a subtle stain-like area that later thickens as a large plaque, infiltrated or dusky blue-purple lesion, or as an exophytic, firm, violaceous, cutaneous nodule. Medical treatment is not necessary for tufted angioma, given its benign nature and slow progression. Only clinical follow-up is therefore recommended.
