Abstract
|
|
|
|
Microvenular hemangioma is a relatively rare, acquired, and slow-growing benign vascular lesion that usually arises as a small, reddish papule or plaque in young to middle-aged individuals. It commonly occurs on the arms, trunk, or legs. Histologically, it consists of irregular branching capillaries and venules involving the full thickness of the reticular dermis. A 38-year-old woman presented for 3 years with a solitary reddish nodule on the scalp. Histological examination showed irregular venules throughout the dermis. We report this case of microvenular hemangioma developing on the scalp, an unusual location.
