Abstract
- Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor characterized by a small solitary lesion consisting of a brown to violaceous papule, surrounded by a thin, pale area and a peripheral ecchymotic ring. We report a case of targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma on left lower abdomen of a 33-year-old female. She had a 5 mm x 5 mm sized slightly raised violaceous papule surrounded by an ecchymotic halo on left lower abdomen. We took a biopsy of the lesion and identified it as targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma. This case showed characteristic clinical and histologic findings of targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma.
