| dc.description.abstract | 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. | en_US |
