Summary

This study reports a rare case of recurrent black nodules in a diabetic patient, initially mistaken for melanoma but diagnosed as capillary aneurysms. Surgical excision was the only effective treatment for these persistent lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • The case involves a 64-year-old male patient with a history of diabetes mellitus and diabetic retinopathy.
  • The patient presented with elevated plasma cholesterol levels, a common comorbidity in diabetes.

Observation:

  • Recurrent eruptions of small, black nodules were observed, clinically resembling malignant melanoma metastases.
  • Initial clinical assessment suggested the lesions were angiomas.
  • Histological examination confirmed the presence of capillary aneurysms within the nodules.

Findings:

  • The nodules showed no spontaneous regression.
  • Neither sclerosing injections nor compression therapy were effective in treating the lesions.
  • Complete surgical excision was the only successful method for lesion removal.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare presentation of capillary aneurysms mimicking melanoma in a diabetic patient.
  • The unknown etiology necessitates further research into potential links between diabetes, vascular abnormalities, and skin manifestations.
  • Effective management relies on surgical intervention, underscoring the need for accurate diagnosis to guide treatment strategies.
