“…Among other histopathological differential diagnosis, capillary malformations, hobnail hemangiomas, 6 and microvenular hemangiomas could be proposed. Capillary malformations show an intradermal superficial proliferation of capillaries but solar elastosis is usually not a feature, and the clinical context is also very different, usually interesting a unique congenital reddish noninfiltrative plaque often located on the head.…”

Perimenopozal kadınlarda olağan dışı çok sayıda edinilmiş hemanjiyomun progesteron tedavisi sonrasında ortaya çıkması nedeni ile bu durum progesteron tedavisi ile de ilişkilendirilmiştir.…”

“…Edinsel elastotik hemanjiyomun ayırıcı tanısında yüzeyel bazal hücreli karsinom, granüloma anulare, yama evresindeki Kaposi sarkomu, edinsel "tufted" anjiyom, targetoid hemosiderotik hemanjiyom ve düşük grade'li anjiyosarkom düşünülmelidir. 2 Benign karakteri ve asemptomatik olması nedeni ile tedavi gerektirmez. Ayırıcı tanıda düşünülen hastalıkların dışlanamadığı durumlarda veya kozmetik amaçlı eksizyon yapılabilir.…”
