Acroangiodermatitis Mali resulting from arteriovenous malformation: report of a case of Stewart-Bluefarb syndrome.
We describe the rare Stewart-Bluefarb syndrome in a 15-year-old boy. This syndrome presents as a congenital arteriovenous malformation of the lower leg with multiple arteriovenous shunts accompanied by the benign acroangiodermatitis of Mali (pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma). The clinical features of this disorder and the treatment options are reviewed.
