Acquired Tufted Angioma 1예

Abstract

Tufted angioma was first described by Wilson Jones in 1976. This is a rare vascular tumor usually appears in early childhood, having a predilection for neck, upper chest and shoulder, and most commonly appears as dull red to red-brown patches and plaques.

We report a case of acquired tufted angioma in an adult presenting as multiple, discrete, reddish papules within macular patch on right chest and showing a good response to dye laser therapy. This is an unusual case which merits consideration.
