title: Severe predominantly acral variant of angiokeratoma of Mibelli: response to long-pulse Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser treatment.
abstract: The classification of vascular abnormalities is difficult. We describe a child with a disorder that is best described as angiokeratoma of Mibelli. This unusual, severe, predominantly acral case has been improved by long-wave Nd:YAG laser treatment, but treatment is still ongoing.
