Abstract:
Acquired multiple cavernous hemangiomatosis appear on the skin and internaI organs, including in particular the skeleton, the brain and the liver in childhood or in adult life in the 4th and 5th decades. It is extremely rare for cutaneous hemangiomas associated with internal lesions to arise de novo in adults. The lesions persist indefinitely and symptom-free survival to old age is possible, despite the presence of hemangiomatosis in liver, heart or kidney. A 53 year-old male patient had multiple, non-tender, bluish to violet colored. pea to walnut sized, cutaneous, some pedunculated nodules on the entire body for 8 years. Histopathologically, there were non-capsulated vascuiar tumor consisting of large variable sized blood vessels in the dermis and some organizing thrombi. There was no evidence of malinant change.
