Abstract:
The patient was 29 years old male who has been suffering from long standing painless multiple brownish red papules and nodules on the left forehead since 10 years previously. Histopathologically, dermal vascular component consisted predominantly of irregularly shaped capillaries with greatly swollen, pleomorphic endothelial cells some of which protruded into the lumen. And many eosinophils and lymphocytic infiltrations were seen in the dermis. Direct immunofluorescence showed homogeneous or granular deposits of C, in the endothelial cell of the small blood vessels in the dermis.
