[Superficial spreading capillary hemangioma: case report].
Superficial spreading capillary hemangioma has been described for the first and sole time by Mihara and collaborators in 1986, as a proliferation of capillaries in the dermal papillae, separated by thin elongated rete ridges. Clinically it appeared as an asymptomatic, isolated, small and long-standing red plaque of slow growth located in the plantar surface of a 57-year-old Japanese woman. We report a 23-year-old Caucasian woman with an asymptomatic, long-standing, brownish plantar lesion of stable size. In the pathological study we observed a capillary proliferation in tangles with slack stroma located in the papillary dermis. We report, therefore, the second case of superficial spreading capillary hemangioma published in the literature.
