A Case of Eruptive Pseudoangiomatosis in a Middle-aged Woman / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Eruptive pseudoangiomatosis is a rare, benign, self-limiting exanthem, which is known to occur primarily in children but rarely in adults. It is characterized by the sudden onset of a few to numerous bright red angioma-like papules, which are caused by dilatation of dermal blood vessels and are surrounded by a pale halo. A viral etiology and a possible association with insect bite and immunosuppression have been suggested. We report a case of eruptive pseudoangiomatosis in a middle-aged woman.
