Verrucous hemangioma.
Verrucous hemangioma is an infrequent variety of deep-seated capillary or cavernous hemangioma with reactive epidermal hyperplasia and a superficial component indistinguishable from those of angiokeratoma. Four cases of verrucous hemangioma are reported herein. Verrucous hemangiomas are usually congenital lesions which do not resolve spontaneously and have a tendency to recur after excision if margins are inadequate. Careful histopathologic and clinical evaluation are required for an optimal therapeutic approach.
