Verrucous Hemangioma in an Adult: Report of a Rare Case
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Verrucous hemangioma is a rare congenital vascular malformation. It usually occurs at birth, but can appear later in adulthood. Clinically it presents as well demarcated papules, plaques or nodules of bluish- red colour with an irregular or warty surface mostly involving the lower limbs. It is often wrongly diagnosed as angiokeratoma, simple hemangioma, lymphangioma circumscriptum, verrucous epidermal nevus, even malignant melanoma therefore histopathology plays an important role. Hereby we report a case of a 32 year old male due to its unusual presentation and its rare occurrence in this age group. Histopathological examination is an indispensable tool for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of the patient.
