Angiokeratoma Limited Neviform Trunk

Angiokeratoma corporis circumscriptum naeviforme is a rare benign skin lesion characterized by the appearance of multiple papules and warts of a dark red color, located in groups in limited areas of the skin.

The disease occurs predominantly in children and adolescents, more often in boys. The reasons are unknown, the role of hereditary factors is assumed. Pathogenesis is associated with congenital anomalies in the development of blood vessels in the dermis.

Clinically manifests itself in the form of multiple papules and warts measuring 1-5 mm, colored dark red or bluish. The elements are grouped and form irregularly shaped plaques, clearly demarcated from healthy skin. They are localized mainly on the skin of the trunk, limbs, and less commonly on the face and mucous membranes. There is no itching or other subjective sensations.

The diagnosis is established on the basis of the clinical picture and histological examination. Differential diagnosis is made with hemangioma, angiofibroma, nevus of Ota.

Surgical treatment - excision of lesions or laser coagulation. The prognosis is favorable, relapses are rare.

Angiokeratomas are benign vascular lesions of the skin that can occur in various parts of the body, including the trunk and extremities. They have a round shape and can be either red, purple or flesh-colored. Angiokeratoma is difficult to distinguish from other types of skin formations due to the lack of clear diagnostic signs. To diagnose angiokeratosis, various research methods are used, such as histological analysis or ultrasound.

Angiokeratoma limited to the invisibility of the trunk, also known as Kissmeyer-Beck nevus, is a fairly rare, but not malignant, skin formation. Most often, this condition is hereditary or occurs after damage to the skin in the form of insect bites or trauma. It can occur in people of absolutely any age.

Most often, Kissmeier-Becker nevi occur on the skin of the shoulders or chest, less often on the back or front of the thighs. Almost always, the patient has symptoms in the first stages of development of a breast mass. Angiokertoma is limited, does not spread to adjacent areas of the skin, is characterized by the presence of a “heart” in the center, and pain. The disease must be treated immediately when factors that trigger the development of the disease are detected. Angiokeramitoma is a benign pathology that is easily treatable. In most cases, skin growths go away on their own after a short period of time. Sometimes this may take several months. However, a diagnosis cannot be made based solely on skin color.
