[Multiple capillary aneurysms].
Recurrent eruptions of small, black nodules resembling metastases of malignant melanoma in a 64-year-old male patient with diabetes mellitus are reported. Clinically, the lesions seemed to be angiomas. Histological examination revealed capillary aneurysms. To date there has been no spontaneous regression. Sclerosing injections or compression therapy had no effect. Only total excision of lesions was successful. The etiology of the disease is unknown. The patient had diabetic retinopathy with increased plasma levels of cholesterol.
