Background:
Eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis is a benign, acute dermatosis, mostly associated with a viral infection. Skin lesions consist of angioma-like papules, scattered over the skin. Involution is usually spontaneous and swift.
Case-Report:
We report a case of eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis, which occurred in an immunocompetent 18 year-old adult together with acute gastroenteritis and enterovirus seroconversion.
Discussion:
Eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis was described for the first time in 1969 in 4 children and then several pediatric cases were reported. Recently, 9 eruptive pseudo-angiomatosis in adults have been described. Our case had some particularities: it occurred in an immunocompetent adult and the skin lesions were angioma-like.
