[Cutaneous angiogenesis associated with vulvar epidermoid carcinoma].
A case of cutaneous angiogenesis, probably induced by tumour angiogenic factors (TAF), is described. The patient, a 39-year-old female, affected by a vulvar squamous cell carcinoma, developed some erythematoangiomatous lesions on the lower abdominal quadrants, contiguously to the tumour. Histopathologically, the lesions were characterized by vascular neoformation in the superficial dermis and a slight lymphohistiocytic lesions resolved after the polychemotherapy which preceded enlarged vulvectomy. This supports the hypothesis of a close correlation between neoangiogenesis and TAF.
