Cryotherapy in a patient with acquired tufted angioma

Abstract

A 26-year old woman had tender erythematous grouped papules and plaque(10 cm in diameter) with underlying deep seated rodules on the right shoulder for 2 years. A biopsy specimen showed vascular tufts composed of endothelial cells in the mid and lower dermis, which was diagnostic of acquired tufted angioma. After 4-months of cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, most of the lesions had disappeared as well as her subjective symptom.
