A rare localization of Fordyce angiokeratoma: A case report

Abstract

Angiokeratomas are vascular malformations that are characterized by one or more dilated blood vessels lying subepidermal and epidermal proliferative reaction. Fordyce angiokeratoma is the most common type of angiokeratomas and typically occurs in middle-aged men on the scrotal wall. A 44-yearold woman with violeceous, verrucous papules over her inferior trunk applied to our clinic with a history of 10 years duration. Histopathological examination of the lesions confirmed the diagnosis of angiokeratoma. We reported a case of Fordyce angiokeratoma here because of rare localization of her lesions.
