Multiple eruptive verrucous hemangiomas: a variant of multiple hemangiomatosis.
We present a case of an 8-year-old girl, who has, since birth, developed multiple angiomatous lesions of the skin. The evolution has been progressive and eruptive, with the lesions, beginning as reddish papulae, acquiring later a verrucous appearance. The case has revealed no associated systemic symptoms nor relevant family history of any interest. The clinical picture suggests multiple hemangiomatosis. The histopathology seems to relate this disorder to verrucous hemangioma, and therefore needs to be differentiated from angiokeratotic nevi. To our knowledge, reports of a similar clinicopathological picture are not mentioned in the literature.
