RESUMO
Acquired tufted angioma [ATA] is a rare benign vascular tumor, most commonly localized to skin and subcutaneous tissues. Its name is based on its specific histologic pattern, characterized by lobular arrangement of densely cellular capillaries, grouped in glomerular pattern looking like [cannon-ball]. These vascular tufts are comprised of endothelial cells and associated pericytes. Angioblastoma are often associated with immunocompromised state. We report a case of acquired painful solitary angioblastoma in immunocompetent adult individual
RESUMO
Cutaneous metastasis [CM] from internal malignancy is usually seen in advanced stage and hence is associated with bad prognosis. Sometimes, CM alone is a presenting feature without any obvious feature of internal malignancy. High index of suspicion and histopathology can establish the diagnosis of CM. Identification of underlying malignancy is based on clinical futures, histopathology, immunohistochemistry and other investigations. CM was the presenting feature in our cases and identification of CM led to search for underlying malignancy and then initiation of therapy
