Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma is a rare vascular skin condition presenting as red papules. Histology reveals vascular proliferation with multinucleate cells, distinct from other skin lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Vascular Biology

Background:

  • Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma (MCA) is a rare benign vascular proliferation.
  • Distinguishing MCA from other vascular skin lesions is clinically important.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old woman presented with asymptomatic red facial papules of 4-year duration.
  • Histopathology showed a dermal vascular proliferation with numerous multinucleate cells.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemistry revealed vascular spaces lined by endothelial cells and surrounded by factor XIIIa+ cells.
  • Multinucleate cells expressed vimentin but lacked markers for endothelial cells or macrophages, and were factor XIIIa-.

Implications:

  • MCA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of facial vascular skin lesions.
