Targetoid Hemosiderotic Hemangioma With Spontaneous Remission And Recurrence In A Male Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma is a rare, characteristic, benign lymphovascular lesion that usually affects the trunk and lower limbs. It has a diverse clinical appearance. Most affected people are in their 20s. A violaceous solitary papule encircled by a pale, narrow region and an ecchymotic ring peripherally, mimicking a target, is the most prevalent clinical characteristic. In many cases, the reported dermoscopic signs and patterns of hemosiderotic hemangioma have been found to be adequate for establishing a clinical diagnosis. The following is a case of a 23-year-old male presenting with blue-black vascular lesions on the lateral aspect of the right deltoid with a red ecchymotic ring. The 2×1 cm-sized lesion has a history of spontaneous remission and reappearance. Based on dermoscopic findings, a diagnosis of targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma was made.
