“…11 Even though this is a rare disease, five cases of treatment with pulsed-dye laser for tufted hemangioma have been described, with variable results -in two of them with good response, 11,12 and with complete failure in three others. 1,13,14 Yet, because it is a relatively safe method, with few side effects, the main being post-inflammatory hyperpig- The use of pulsed-dye laser was efficient in reducing pain, but the same success was not obtained with lesion size, in spite of the slight improvement. As there are few reports of treatment with pulsed-dye laser, it is still early to state a clear opinion on the indication of such laser for the treatment of tufted angioma.…”

“…It affects children more often, and is clinically characterized by pain erithematous-purple plaque lesions, more frequent in trunk. 1 Its diagnosis is made by characteristic histological examination, with the presence of vessels grouped in glomerulus-like patterns with the aspect of a "cannon bullet". 2 When it does not regress spontaneously, it responds little to proposed treatments, such as conventional surgery, steroids, interferon and laser.…”

Tufted angioma is a rare, benign, cutaneous angiomatous proliferation. It is more common in children and is clinically characterized by red-purple painfull plaques, more common in trunk. When spontaneous regression does not occur, proposed treatments (conventional surgery, steroid therapy, interferon and laser) achieve little success. We describe a case of a 11-year-old girl with a tufted angioma located in the trunk treated with pulsed-dye laser, showing important relief of local pain, and small reduction in lesion size. We have been motivated to describe this case due to the small number of such reports in Brazil and by the attempt to treat it with pulsed-dye laser.

Acomete mais crianças e clinicamente caracteriza-se por lesões em placas, vermelho-violáceas, dolorosas e mais freqüentes no tronco. Quando não regride espon

“…The third child had an overlying eczematous dermatitis after resolution of the TA. Although it is hypothesized that local secretion of growth factors important in angiogenesis, such as interleukin 8, play a role in the development of TA, 10 the mechanism for regression is unknown. The differential diagnosis of TA includes infantile hemangioma, vascular (particularly venous) malformation, infantile myofibroma (hemangiopericytoma), and malignant vascular tumors, such as infantile fibrosarcoma.…”

“…2,3 As the years went by, the lesion increased in size; however, it stabilized at puberty. Nevertheless, the pain intensified, making it difficult to move the affected limb, 8 which was already slightly hypotrophic. The therapy selected consisted of 0.025% topical capsaicin cream.…”

Tufted angioma is a rare acquired vascular tumor. It is characterized by painful purplish macules that may progress to plaques containing angiomatous papules. The condition is benign; however, it often affects extensive areas of the skin, leading to functional disability of the affected limb if painful. The present report describes a case of a tufted angioma associated with myofascial pain syndrome in which the predisposing element was the presence of this tumor since childhood. Pain at the site of the lesion affected muscle use and led to the onset of the associated syndrome. Complete relief from symptoms was achieved by blocking the trigger points of the affected limb with anesthesia. Keywords: Local anesthesia; Hemangioma; Myofascial pain syndrome Resumo: O Angioma em tufo é considerado um raro tumor vascular cutâneo adquirido. Caracteriza-se por mácu-las purpúrico-violáceas, dolorosas que podem evoluir para placas com pápulas angiomatosas. Tem natureza benigna, mas o envolvimento extenso é comum, gerando alteração funcional do membro afetado em caso de dor. Os autores relatam um caso de angioma em tufo associado à síndrome dolorosa miofascial, em que o elemento predisponente foi a presença deste tumor desde a infância. A dor local prejudicou a utilização da musculatura e possibilitou o surgimento da síndrome relatada. A realização de bloqueio anestésico de pontos-gatilhos no membro afetado, levou à melhora total dos sintomas.
