Angioma serpiginosum (AS) is an uncommon vascular anomaly with unknown etiopathogenesis. It typically presents as asymptomatic unilateral red-colored macules and papules in linear serpiginous pattern during the first two decades of life. It most frequently affects lower limbs followed by gluteal area. We present a case of AS affecting primarily one-half of the trunk and the ipsilateral limb. The diagnosis was confirmed with dermoscopy that revealed characteristic well-defined round-to-oval red lagoons representing dilated capillaries in the papillary dermis on histopathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
