Multiple Widespread Blue Nodules: A Clinicopathological Case

“…For these cases, there is a range of possible treatments, including sclerotherapy, electron-beam radiation, argon and CO 2 lasers or observation of asymptomatic lesions. The prognosis for excised glomus tumours is very good, with a low recurrence rate [ 8 ].…”

Reactive angioendotheliomatosis following implantation of a knee metallic device

“…Reactive angioendotheliomatosis is a rare and poorly defined cutaneous reactive vascular disorder characterized by intravascular proliferation of cells expressing endothelial cell markers. Its clinical appearance usually includes erythematous or purple–brownish macules and papules or purpuric plaques and occasionally ulcerated lesions ,. We report a case initially suspected as reticulated telangiectatic erythema following placement of a prosthesis in the left knee but whose histological findings showed a reactive intravascular angioendotheliomatosis.…”

“…However, several cases of intralymphatic histiocytosis following orthopedic metal implants have been reported in the last years. This entity is considered by some authors as a subtype of reactive angioendotheliomatosis ,,. As previously suggested, lymphatic ectasia secondary to chronic inflammation due to implant surgery is essential for the development of intralymphatic histiocytosis; however, its role in the case of reactive angioendotheliomatosis remains unclear.…”

Giant pedunculated tumour on the finger

“…The presence of lobular proliferation of capillary-like vessels, enmeshed in a loose stroma is the hallmark histopathological feature of lobular capillary haemangioma. [8] Treatment options include shave excision, curettage, cryosurgery and ablation with neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser or pulsed dye lasers with the choice of treatment guided by the site and extent of the lesion.…”
