Abstract

The current study reports a case of multiple microvenular hemangioma (MH). A 35‑year‑old male presented with dark red maculopapules on the trunk and limbs that had been apparent for 5 years. The number of lesions exceeded 100 in total. A histological examination demonstrated multiple, irregular, branching venules in the dermis, without any endothelial atypia. On immunohistochemical analysis of the vascular structures, the endothelial cells stained positive for CD31, CD34 and factor VIII, and the perivascular cells stained positive for SMA and HHF‑35. These observations were consistent with a diagnosis of MH, and should be differentiated from the most common differential diagnosis of patch-stage Kaposi's sarcoma. There was no clear effect following topical application of recombinant human interferon α-2b gel.
