Abstract:
We report a male patient with acquired eruptive haemangiomata occurring in association with primary biliary cirrhosis and a carcinoma of the prostate. The possible explanations include an abnormality of sex sterol metabolism associated with his liver disease, secretion of an angiogenic factor by his carcinoma or a combination of the two mechanisms.
