Abstract:
We report herein a gigantic case of verrucous hemangioma occuring in a 15 year-old school- boy. The lesion was a dark red colored, 10.0 x 6.0 x 0.8cm sized, verrucous surfaced, hemangiomatous tumor affecting the posterior aspect of the right thigh. At birth an erythematous macule appeared and insidious]y increased or extended with age. In the last 6 months, it had grown rapidly to the size of the present lesion with a smaller satellite one, assumably ascribing to the repeated minor trauma or pressure. Histological findings from the totally excised lesion showed epidermal hyperplasia with irregular acanthosis and papillomatosis and diffuse marked proliferation and dilatation of blood vessels from the upper dermis to subcutaneous fatty tissue. Wide excision was done. There was no relapse after about one years postoperative follow up.
