Abstract:
Liposclerosis is a feature of chronic venous insufficiency. Clinically, liposclerosis is characterized by induration and variable hyperpipmention located on the skin of the leg and ankle. A 49-year-old male was presented with dark brown colored indurated plaque with the appearance of an inverted bottle on the lower leg. He had a history of stasis dermatitis on the area. The main histopathologic finding was broad septal fibrosis, where there were scattered hemosiderin, thick-walled and tortuous vessels, and fibrin deposition stained by phosphotungstic acid-hematoxyline (PTAH) stain.
