Abstract
Verrucous hemangioma is a rare congenital vascular skin disorder characterized by keratotic hemangiomatous lesions. Clinically presents as red macules since birth, generally over lower limbs which over the course of time transforms into hyperpigmented, hyperkeratotic verrucous plaques [1]. Its main differential diagnosis is angiokeratoma circumscriptum neviforme, with an almost similar clinical presentation and site predilection as verrucous hemangioma. Histopathology plays a crucial role in differentiating both the disorders. We hereby report a case of 18 year old boy, with angiokeratoma circumscriptum neviforme, diagnosed with the help of histopathology.
