Non‐tender pedal plaques and nodules: pseudo‐Kaposi's sarcoma (Stewart‐Bluefarb type) induced by trauma

Stewart‐Bluefarb syndrome is a rare angioproliferative disorder that presents as violet plaques on the extremities, due to an underlying arteriovenous malformation (AVM). We report the case of a 12‐year‐old boy who developed a traumatic AVM in a bicycle accident and presented seven years later with exophytic, violet plaques. This is the first instance of a traumatic AVM preceding Stewart‐Bluefarb syndrome in a pediatric patient in the literature. Given the typically long period required to establish this diagnosis, it is crucial for clinicians to actively interrogate a history of preceding trauma in patients presenting with acroangiodermatitis.
