Abstract:
We report a 75-year-old man with multiple recurrent black papules involving his entire body. In the course of 3 years, 20 lesions were resected, which were histologically confirmed as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH). A similar vascular lesion was found on his tibia. The occurrence of multiple IPEH affecting skin and bone is extremely rare. The patient's medical history included hepatitis C, hepatoma and associated coagulopathy. We suggest that this patient's multiple lesions were induced by microthrombus formation due to liver dysfunction.

Cellular Adaptation III: Hyperplasia
Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
