Abstract:
Tufted angioma is a benign, slowly progressive angioma with typical histologic findings of small, circumscribed angiomatous tufts and lobules scattered in the dermis. More than 50% of cases occur during the first year of life, but rarely it develops late in life. There was only one reported case of tufted angioma after trauma in the English literature. We report a case of tufted angioma, which developed after electrocautery in a 61-year-old woman showing histologic features of typical tufted angioma.
