Hobnail Hemangioma With an Unusual Clinical Presentation.
Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery 2017 March
Hobnail hemangioma, also known as targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma, is an uncommon vascular proliferation that clinically presents as a small solitary red to purple papule or macule, located on the limbs or trunk. Multiple lesions and atypical locations have been described. Histopathologically, it exhibits a biphasic pattern, with dilated vessels in the superficial dermis and angulated vessels in the deeper dermis, with endothelial cells that show a hobnail appearance. There is controversy about the histogenetic origin of hobnail hemangioma, although recent studies support that it is a lymphatic malformation. The investigators report the case of a 41-year-old man with an irregular lesion, red to purple in color, with a maximum diameter of 4 cm, on the scalp. The location and in particular the clinical appearance are uncommon. Immunohistochemical analysis showed negativity for WT1 and focal positivity for D2-40. Clinical-pathologic correlation acquires particular importance in the case of lesions with atypical clinical presentation.
