Two Case of Sudoriparous Angioma
Abstract
- Sudoriparous angioma is an unusual form of angioma with pain and hyperhidrosis. We present two cases of typical sudoriparous angioma. Case 1: 9-year-old female showed 0. 8 to 2. 0cm multiple dark brownish tender palpable hypertrichotic masses on the right lower leg after birth. Muscular atrophy and flexion contracture was also developed on the right lower leg for 2 years. Case 2: 4-year-old rnale showed 3 * 3cm tender elevated mass on the left shin after birth. Marked hyperhidrosis was developed when even slight pressure applied on the lesion in these cases. On histologic examination, these two cases showed proliferation of varible sized blood veasels hyperplasia and dilated hyperplastic eccrine glandular and ectopic adipose tissue on the mid and deep dermis. Muscular biopsy from case 1 showed fibrotic and degenerative change. Electromicroscopic examination done from case 1. The secretory epithelial cell of eccrine gland showed cytoplastic degradation and slight dilated intercellular canaliculi (Fig. 11). The lumen of subepithelial capillaries were dilated and some of endothelial cells showed degenerative changes evidenced by RER dilation, mitochondrial swelling and detachment from underlying tissue(Fig. l2). The cutaneous nerve showed many non-myelinated axons enclosed in cytoplasm of Schwann cells.
