ABSTRACT
Angiokeratoma shows dilatation of capillaries in the upper dermis and it also shows some epidermal changes, like- hyperkeratosis, papillomatosis, and thickening of epidermis or acanthosis .Clinical presentation of angiokeratoma includes plaques over the skin of lower limbs, mostly on the buttocks or thigh. It is usually identified clinically but a definitive diagnosis is made only on histopathological examination.A deeper biopsy of the lesion is empirically essential to make a concrete diagnosis as the characteristic changes seen in angiokeratoma, are limited to superficial dermis. Our case report has a 24 years old female presenting with unilateral, linear, bluish-black verrucous plaque on the back of left elbow.
