Abstract:
Eruptive pseudoandiomatosis (EPA) is a rare, self-limiting exanthem, which is characterized by numerous erythematous angioma-like papules surrounded by a pale halo. We report two cases of EPA, which developed in adulthood. The first patient, a 50-year-old female, had erythematous angioma-like papules surrounded by a pale halo on the face and arms. The second patient, a 34-year-old female, had lesions on the upper and lower extremities. The histological features included dilated blood vessels with plump endothelial cells, but there was no evidence of frank vascular proliferation or vasculitis.
