title: Diffuse dermal angiomatosis of the breast: response to isotretinoin.
abstract: Dermal angiomatosis of the breast is an extremely rare disorder of unknown origin characterized by increased angiomatosis and ulceration. We report a case of a young woman whose disorder responded to isotretinoin. Our findings have potential relevance to the treatment of skin disorders in which ulceration is a prominent feature.
