Abstract:
We present a case of venous hemangioma which is seen beneath a clavus (corn) developed in the interdigital area of the foot. Clinically, a violaceous papule was located on the third and fourth interdigital spaces under an overlying corn. Histopathologic examination showed a non-encapsulated dermal mass composed of thick-walled and thin walled vessels lined by a single layer of endothelial cells. Some thick-walled vessels had protruding endothelial cells into the lumen and through Verhoeff-van Gieson and Masson-trichrome stain of the tissue section, we found that the vascular mass was composed of vein.
