Angiokeratoma circumscriptum is one of five types in the group of the angiokeratomas. These lesions are usually present at birth and are not related with systemic diseases. Angiokeratoma circumscriptums are hyperkeratotic papules or nodules occurring frequently unilaterally on the leg. These lesions are very rare and very few cases have been reported since its first description. It is of particular clinical importance because of its morphologic similarities to malignant skin tumors such as malignant melanoma or pigmented basal cell carcinoma. Therefore, this rare but significant lesion must be recognized by physician and surgeons who manage skin tumors.

Angiokeratomas are benign tumors characterized by ectasia of blood vessels in the papillary dermis associated with acanthosis and hyperkeratosis of the epidermis. Dermatological examination of angiokeratomas of Fordyce is characterized by papular keratotic lesions of erythematous-violet color. They are more common in the scrotum, and vulvar involvement is rarely reported. Histopathology is particularly important to distinguish them from other benign and malignant tumors. The article reports the case of a middle-aged black woman with a history of chronic constipation, varicose veins of the lower limbs and cesarean section performed 20 years ago who had had multiple vulvar angiokeratomas for three months.

Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent... Aug 2019We present an adolescent with multiple vulvar angiokeratomas within a background of lichen sclerosus.
BACKGROUND
We present an adolescent with multiple vulvar angiokeratomas within a background of lichen sclerosus.
CASE
A 13-year-old girl presented with vulvar pruritus and wart-like vulvar lesions. Four lesions were resected because of discomfort and uncertainty of the diagnosis. Pathology revealed angiokeratomas with chronic inflammation suggestive of lichen sclerosus. Postoperatively, pruritus continued in the largest excised lesion, which was associated with lichen sclerosus, and symptoms were treated successfully with topical steroids.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Vulvar angiokeratomas are asymptomatic red papular lesions and are rare in the female adolescent population. In this case, the pathology revealed the rare co-occurrence of angiokeratomas and lichen sclerosus. Biopsies of vulvar vascular lesions in symptomatic adolescents are recommended. Vulvar angiokeratomas might manifest rare genetic disease in otherwise asymptomatic female patients and warrant further follow-up.

Review
The authors describe a case of a female patient with Acral Pseudolymphomatous Angiokeratoma of Children, known as APACHE. It is a rare benign cutaneous disease, of unknown etiology, characterized by multiple, asymptomatic erythematous-violaceous papules and nodules, usually located unilaterally with acral distribution. Today, this denomination is questionable, since there are published reports of this disease in adults and in different locations. Clinically, it is similar to an angiokeratoma, whereas hystologically, it corresponds to a distinct type of pseudolymphoma. The immunohistochemical study is required to distinguish APACHE from cutaneous lymphoma.

Review
In 1988, Ramsay et al proposed an entity of acral pseudolymphomatous angiokeratoma of children (with an abbreviation of APACHE) for the unilateral multiple angiomatous papules affecting the acral region of the extremities of children. We report here similar lesions that developed in the acral portions of 1 female adolescent and 2 women. Histopathologically, they showed pseudolymphomatous features rather than those of angiokeratoma. Thus, the term should be acral angiokeratoma-like pseudolymphoma would be more appropriate than APACHE originally proposed.

Review
A description of 93 cases of angiokeratoma [Mibelli (3 cases), Fordyce (13 cases), circumscriptum naeviformis (12 cases) and solitary (65 cases)], confirmed histologically and observed during the last 30 years (1955-1985) in the Department of Medicine and Surgery of the School of Medicine of the University of Granada is presented. We carry out a detailed histological and ultrastructural study.
