Abstract
-
We report a 13-year-old girl with multiple angiokeratomas on lower extremity. Her skin lesions were asymptomatic but became larger and darker and bled intermittently with subtle trauma. Skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of angiokeratoma. We emphasize the importance of this lesion in the differential diagnosis of pigmented nevus or malignant melanoma.
