“…The reported dramatic increase at puberty in the size of hemangiomata in our case may be explained by actual blood vessel growth in response to hormonal alterations [Barter et al, 1963]. This is similar to the pattern in 5 patients with unilateral dermatomal superficial telangiectasia(UDST) [ 1978], Also, 2 patients with UDST had catamenial fluctuations in the inten sity of the redness; the patient presented here had fluctuations in the size of the nodules related to her menstrual cycle.…”

Unilateral dermatomal cavernous hemangiomatosis (UDCH) is a nosologic entity characterized by (1) multiple hemangiomata; (2) location in lower dermis and subcutaneous tissue; (3) unilateral dermatomal distribution; (4) lack of gastrointestinal lesions; (5) lack of enchondromata; (6) benign course; (7) absence of family history; (8) onset either acquired or congenital, and (9) changes in size possibly hormonal in nature. UDCH must be distinguished from other disorders with multiple hemangiomata which convey adverse prognoses.

“…However, since cherry angiomas tend to increase in number as the patient's age increases, the aging process may play a role in the pathogenesis of cherry angiomas. Cherry angiomas have also been reported to be associated with pregnancy [2], climate [3], and exposure to chemicals [4, 5, 6]. Generally, cherry angiomas appear as 1- to 5-mm, dome-shaped, bright, red papules located mainly on the trunk or upper extremities.…”

Cherry angiomas are a common cutaneous vascular proliferation which manifests as single or multiple spots and occurs predominantly on the upper trunk and arms. They typically appear as round-to-oval, bright, red, dome-shaped papules and pinpoint macules measuring up to several millimeters in diameter. The histopathologic findings of a cherry angioma are consistent with a true capillary hemangioma, which is formed by numerous, newly developed capillaries with narrow lumens and prominent endothelial cells arranged in a lobular fashion in the papillary dermis. Herein, we report a case of multiple cherry angiomas on the scalp, an uncommon location for cherry angiomas.

“…Hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy or lactation can lead to development and/or enlargement of vascular lesions 3,4 . We report a case of acquired capillary haemangioma that enlarged during pregnancy and continued to increase in size during lactation.…”
