title: [Multiple dark nodules on the trunk].
abstract: A 61-year-old man with dark nodules on his trunk was referred by his internist because of concern about a malignant melanoma. Clinically the nodules were blue-purple and had a maximum diameter of 5mm. The main dermoscopic features were red to blue lacunae, which were variously sized and smooth bordered. These typical findings led to certain diagnosis of multiple venous hemangiomas. No further investigation or treatment was required.
