Abstract
Angiokeratomas are vascular lesions that display an epidermal proliferative reaction with ectatic capillaries in the papillary dermis and are described histologically as one or more dilated blood vessels lying directly subepidermal. Presentation of angiokeratomas varies from a single lesion to generalized involvement. The diagnosis of angiokeratoma is mainly clinical as the histopathology of all variants are identical. In this case series, we discuss the variants of angiokeratoma and their presentations.
