Acquired Port-Wine stain: Report of two cases
Acquired port-wine stain is a rare vascular lesion that mimics a congenital port-wine stain clinically and histologically, but is acquired after birth. A survey on more than 60 reported cases in the literature reveals that most of these cases are idiopathic, but some of the cases developed after physical or mechanical trauma, hormonal changes, chronic sun exposure, and medications (OCP, i...
متن کاملBasal cell carcinomas in port-wine stains treated with thorium X.
Sir, Thorium X, a natural isotope of radium, was the main radiotherapeutic modality for treating vascular lesions of the skin including port-wine stain (PWS) available to dermatologists during the 1930s to 1950s. It disappeared from dermatological practice around the 1960s, and the chapter on thorium X was considered closed (1, 2). However, occasionally long-term sequelae have been described (2...
متن کاملA Comparison of Acquired Port-wine Stain with Congenital Port-wine Stain Using an Image Analyzer.
BACKGROUND Recent reports have proposed that there were no differences between acquired port-wine stain (APWS) and congenital port-wine stain (CPWS) except the onset of disease. Pulsed dye laser (PDL) therapy is regarded as the treatment of choice in PWS. Although in some articles, APWS might have shown a better response to PDL than CPWS, this is still controversial. It has been assumed however...
متن کامل[Laser treatment of port wine stain].
Laser treatment of vascular skin lesions is rapidly improving. Port wine stain (PWS) is one of the first lesions successfully treated with laser. The pulsed dye laser (PDL) has been developed on the concept of selective photothermolysis and has revolutionized PWS treatment. Even though the response is variable, substantial blanching can be obtained after several sessions. Greater selectivity an...
