title: A young woman with multiple cutaneous epithelioid angiomatous nodules (CEAN) on her forearm: a case report and follow-up of therapeutic intervention.
abstract: Cutaneous epithelioid angiomatous nodule (CEAN) is regarded as a very rare entity of benign vascular hyperplasia that clinically manifests as mainly single, small, rapidly-growing reddish to bluish nodules or papules, mainly on the head and neck of adults. Most patients present with solitary lesions. We present a 39-year-old female with multiple, rapidly-growing, erythematous nodules on her left forearm during a one-year period. The overall histologic picture suggested Cutaneous Epithelioid Angiomatous Nodule (CEAN). In this case we tried different treatments and compared the results.
