Microhemangiomas (MHA) observed on the skin are known under different terms: Tuzhilin's "red drops", senile hemangiomas, Campbell de Morgan spots, scrotal angiokeratomas Fordyce-Satton. Examination of 46 healthy subjects and 241 patients aged 15 to 76 years having different diseases has found that MHA occur both in healthy subjects and patients with different diseases. The number and size of MHA increase with age. The condition seems inheritable. Histologically, MHA are cavernous hemangiomas with thick connective tissue septa making impossible MHA dehematizing in diascopy. The conclusion is made on diagnostic insignificance of skin MHA.
