Abstract:
We report a 42-year-old woman with an asymptomatic solitary targetoid patch on her shin of 1 month duration. Histopathologic evaluation revealed intact epidermis with vascular proliferation in the papillary dermis. Vascular channels were irregular, thin walled, and dilated. They were lined by prominent endothelial cells having plumped protruding nuclei and scanty cytoplasm. There was a mild extravasation of red blood cells and mild lymphocytic infiltration around blood vessels in the upper and mid dermis.
