Abstract
Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma is an acquired vascular malformation
of unknown origin. We report the case of a 31-year-old man with a recurrent
and spontaneous regressive targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma. Diagnosis
relied on clinical and histological findings. Physical examination revealed presence
of an approximately 2 cm targetoid lesion located on the left arm, and associated
with pain after pressure. No trigger agent (trauma, insect sting) was reported.
Dermoscopy showed a group of red lacunae centrally, encircled by an intermediate
yellow circular homogenous area and a red violaceous homogenous ring in
the periphery. The histopathological examination and the immunohistochemical
staining of the lesion were characteristic for a hemangioma-like proliferation of
vessels in the upper part of the dermis, similar to a targetoid hemosiderotic angioma.
We also review epidemiological, clinical, and histopathological findings in
6 similar cases presented in the literature. Spontaneous regression and recurrence
have rarely been described in this type of skin lesion.
