ABSTRACT
Tufted angioma is an uncommon, slowly-progressive vascular tumor, found typically in infants, young children and sometimes at birth or during adulthood. It shows a characteristic histopathologic finding, the so-called "cannonball" appearance. Various tumors can be developed in the nevus flammeus, such as pyogenic granuloma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, giant proliferative hemangioma and lymphangioma circumscriptum. Tufted angioma can be also accompanied with nevus flammeus and the coexistence of tufted angioma and nevus flammeus is a very rare condition. We report a case of tufted angioma arising within nevus flammeus in the left axilla of a 47 year-old female.
