title: Verrucous hemangioma and angiokeratoma circumscriptum: clinical and histologic differential characteristics.
abstract: It is important, from a prognostic and therapeutic point of view, to make a correct diagnosis between verrucous hemangioma (VH) and angiokeratoma circumscriptum. The former needs a large and deep exeresis, while the latter responds to the common means of physical therapy. Two cases of verrucous hemangioma are reported that have allowed us to review the clinical and histologic differential characteristics of the two forms.
