An 8-year-old girl was seen in our outpatient clinic with a history of an angiomatous plaque on the chest since birth. She had complained of pain at the site of the lesion for 1 month. Histopathologic examination and immunohistochemical analysis led to the diagnosis of glomangioma, a rare congenital plaquelike glomus tumor. We review the literature and discuss the clinical presentation and evolution of this rare entity.

Lichen striatus (LS) is a benign, self-limited, linear, inflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology that usually affects children. We analyzed 89 cases in regard to age of appearance, sex, race, symptoms, seasonal incidence, localization of lesions and affected side of the body, and presence of atopy. Lesions predominated on the inferior limbs, with no preponderance of any age, and were asymptomatic in the majority of the instances. There was no difference in the incidence of LS in regard to the season of the year. A possible association of lichen sclerosus with atopy and pruritus was observed.

Cutaneous manifestations in patients with WAS are frequent, especially those similar to the eczema found in AD.
