Angioma serpiginosum

Signs and symptoms

Patients usually have no symptoms at all, with no bleeding, discomfort, or inflammation related to the lesions, which mostly affect the lower limbs. Nonetheless, there have been sporadic cases of angioma serpiginosum in the face, hands, feet, and mucous membranes, among other places. According to typical descriptions, angioma serpiginosum has an erythematous backdrop with a purple to coppery-red punctate look that clusters together in serpiginous or gyrate patterns.

It is often observed that the illness progresses gradually, starting as little asymptomatic lesions that expand and coalesce with central clearing around the borders. In addition, the lesions often cease growing throughout puberty after a brief period of initial growth during childhood and stay stable until adulthood. Rarely, large areas are affected, and the symptoms appear later. There have been reports of acral or zosteriform distribution cases.
