Abstract:
Diffuse dermal angiomatosis (DDA) is a rare, benign cutaneous disorder that can affect the breasts. Typically, it presents in middle-aged women and is increasingly associated with various risk factors that involve tissue hypoxia. We report this case of classical bilateral DDA of the breasts in a 56-year-old female patient. This case highlights the association of DDA with hypoxia-inducing risk factors, such as smoking. Management of the hypoxic risk factors resulted in the resolution of the bilateral ulceration caused by DDA in this patient. This case report aims to discuss the etiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, and treatment modalities commonly used to manage this condition.
