A Case of Unilateral, Segmental Vascular Lesions: An Unusual Presentation

We present a case of a diffuse, vascular eruption localized to the left thigh and left abdomen in an otherwise apparently healthy 63-year-old male. The patient reported that the eruption was not bothersome and had been present for as long as he could remember. Due to its benign appearance in nature,...

description We present a case of a diffuse, vascular eruption localized to the left thigh and left abdomen in an otherwise apparently healthy 63-year-old male. The patient reported that the eruption was not bothersome and had been present for as long as he could remember. Due to its benign appearance in nature, the patient declined a biopsy or further follow-up. While reports of diffuse vascular eruptions have been associated with many genetic diseases, this case offers an example of a diffuse vascular eruption in a healthy patient. Further research is needed to understand the potential genetic or environmental factors contributing to the development of such lesions in healthy patients.
