Tufted angioma is an acquired vascular proliferation with specific histological
characteristics. The most common clinical features are erythematous macules. It
occurs predominantly in children and young adults, especially in the chest and neck.
We report the case of a male patient, 12 years old, with an increased right ear
auricle associated with erythematous macules and increased local temperature,
referred with a diagnosis of lepromatous leprosy; however, this diagnosis was
questioned. Histopathology was consistent with tufted angioma.
