Резюме
The term angiokeratoma means hyperkeratotic, dark-red to purple
papules, with dimensions of 1-10 mm in diameter. Histopathologically they
are seen as vascular ectasias in the upper dermis surmounted by hyperkeratosis
of the epidermis. Several clinical variants of angiokeratomas exist. Some variants
are localized on the genitals (Fordyce’s angiokeratoma), on the fi ngers and
toes (Mibelli’s angiokeratoma) or form confl uent plaques (Angiokeratoma circumscriptum).
We present a 15-year old female patient with Angiokeratoma circumscriptum
of one year duration, which expands in size with time. Interestingly, angiokeratoma
circumscriptum appeared on the place of an operational scar. Laser
treatment is one of the effective options for removal of localized angiokeratoma.
The spectrum of treatment options includes ablative lasers, argon laser and IPL.
In our case we achieved an excellent and rapid therapeutic result using a laser
apparatus with elōs technology.
