Adult-onset tufted angioma: a case report and review of the literature.
Tufted angiomas (TAs) are benign vascular tumors, primarily occurring on the trunk and extremities of children younger than 5 years. Few cases occurring on the oral mucosa and in adults have been reported. Although they are typically isolated lesions, TA has been associated with port-wine stains. We describe a case of adult-onset TA on the lower lip mucosa.
