Late onset angioma serpiginosum of the breast with co-existing cherry angioma

Abstract

Angioma serpiginosum is a cutaneous vascular nevoid disorder that presents as red, nonblanchable and grouped macules distributed in a serpiginous pattern and resembles purpura. It usually begins in childhood and commonly affects the lower limbs and the buttocks. Late onset of the lesions is unusual. We report a 46-year-old female who presented with progressively extending lesions on her breast since preceding four years. She also had a cherry angioma overlying the lesions, an observation hitherto not reported so far.

Late-onset segmental angioma serpiginosum

“…Atypical presentations include disseminated lesions,[ 5 ] involvement of the sole,[ 6 ] association with cherry angioma[ 7 ] and angiokeratoma. [ 8 ] Our case adds to the armamentarium of diversities of presentation of the disease.…”

Angioma serpiginosum in a patchy and blaschkoid distribution: A rare condition with an unconventional presentation

“…Angioma serpiginosum is a rare vascular anomaly and chest involvement has only been reported recently. [ 11 ] Our patient presented with lesions starting over the left side of the chest and extending in a patchy and blaschkoid pattern to left arm and forearm. There are only few reports of such case in English literature.…”
