A case of disseminated hemangiomatosis with cutaneous, hepatic and skeletal manifestations and increased urinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans.
A case of disseminated hemangiomatosis with cutaneous hepatic and extensive skeletal manifestations is reported. The diagnosis was established by means of bone X-ray, hepatic angiography, and skin and bone biopsies. A moderately increased urinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) was found. The main GAG fraction excreted was tentatively identified as a heparan sulphate.
