Abstract
|
|
|
We experienced a case of arteriovenous hemangioma showing Darier's sign on the forehead of a 43-year-old man.
He presented with a single, 1×1.5cm sized, violaceous, asymptomatic nodule with a history of an intermittent wheal at the lesional site. This skin lesion showed Darier's sign clinically and proliferation of mast cells histopathologically with
the
punch
biopsy specimen suggesting urticaria pigmentosa. Howerer, we could diagnose it as a arteriovenous hemangioma on complete excision, as the specimen showed arteriovenous proliferation with increased mast cells in a perivascular pattern.
This case showed confusing clinical signs and showed the importance of complete excision for the diagnosis of a small skin tumor especially when a vascular proliferating tumor is suspected. (Kor J Dermatol 1997;35(10 : 209∼213)
