title: Verrucous hemangioma: a challenging vascular lesion.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We present a case of a 13-year-old girl with a congenital vascular lesion in her right ankle.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Clinical and pathologic examinations led to the diagnosis of a verrucous hemangioma, a distinct, uncommon vascular lesion. The appearance of verrucous hemangiomas evolves with time and may represent a diagnostic challenge. We present this case report and a review of the literature.
