Abstract
- Verrucous hemangioma is an infrequent variant of deep-seated capillary or cavernous hemangioma with reactive epidermal hyperplasia. The lesion generally appears at birth or in early childhood, mostly on the lower limbs and typically present as warty, bluish, vascular papule, plaque or nodule. A 6-year old girl presented with well-circumscribed, hyperkeratotic, red-black, vascular nodule on her right flank. Histopathologic examination showed characteristic features of verrucous hemangioma. We report a case of verrucous hemangioma developed on an unusual site.
