Abstract:
Angioma serpiginosum is an acquired benign vascular neoplasm characterized by minute purple-colored, grouped nonpalpable punta on the extremities. However, nevus flammeus is a congenital vascular malformation that shows unilateral red macules. Although the evidence for association between vascular tumor and malformation have been posed, angioma serpiginosum is known to be rarely associated with nevus flammeus. We herein report a rare case of angioma serpiginosum accompanied with nevus flammeus on the ipsilateral hand.
