“…Surgical excision, cryotherapy, pulsed‐dye laser, argon laser, intense pulsed light, and carbon dioxide laser can also be considered and have all shown anecdotal efficacy . The rationale behind the use of intense pulsed light and pulsed‐dye laser is based on the vascular oxyhemoglobin targets notable in MCAH, and both modalities offer desirable non‐ablative approaches to interventional therapy . Additional studies may also be helpful in discovering newer treatment modalities that might achieve more consistent and long‐term remission.…”

Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma: Case report and literature review

Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma is a rare, vascular, fibrohistiocytic proliferation that has a benign but progressive course. The clinical presentation is that of grouped red‐purple papules and nodules characteristically located on the lower extremities in women. The histopathology shows a proliferation of narrow vessels within thickened collagen bundles associated with multinucleate giant cells. These lesions are probably reactive in nature, and several mechanisms of pathogenesis, including hormonal, have been proposed. Different modalities, including intense pulsed light and pulsed‐dye laser, have been used for treatment of these lesions. We report a case of a 74‐year‐old Caucasian woman with long‐standing multinucleate angiohistiocytoma on her bilateral thighs that eluded diagnosis for several years. Upon biopsy and histopathological analysis, the diagnosis was made. Treatment options were entertained, although ultimately not pursued by the patient. We report this case to increase clinical awareness of this rare disease and to contribute to the ongoing literature aimed to further characterize this condition.

“…15 MCAH treatment is usually not necessary, and lesions can be successfully removed with surgical excision, argon laser, cryosurgery, carbon dioxide, intense pulsed light and 585 nm pulsed dye laser. 2,26,27 For generalized MCAH, no literature has been reported concerning the treatment. We first tried thalidomide (Changzhou Pharmaceutical Factory, Changzhou, China) 50 mg twice per day for our patient.…”

“…in middle‐aged to elderly women. Although the majority of these tumors have been described on the limbs, lesions have also been reported to distribute on the temple, face, eyelids, mucosa and vermilion of the lips . The arrangement of lesions tends to be solitary, multiple or grouped and shows a tendency to be unilateral.…”
