Abstract

We present herein a case of sclerosing hemangioma which developed in a 36-year-old woman. She has had a pea sized bluish black firm nodule for 1 year. Histopathological findings revealed a noncapsulated dermal infiltration of histiocytes and fibroblasts, characterized by numerous capillaries with prominent endothelial cells, and large amounts of hemosiderin.
