Abstract:
Tufted angioma is a rare, acquired vascular tumor, most commonly presenting in the first year of life, which was first described by Wilson Jones in 1979. Spontaneous resolution of this tumor are known to be very rare and local recurrence often occurs unless the tumor is excised completely. We present two cases of tufted angioma developed in two 1-year-old girls. Skin biopsy in a case showed compatible findings with tufted angioma and the other was diagnosed at an other hospital. The lesions were treated with intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide and showed marked improvement. During follow up period, the lesions kept improving.
