Angiodermatitis associated with congenital arteriovenous malformation on the elbow.

Sir, Angiodermatitis is a common disorder with a clinical and morphological resemblance to Kaposi's sarcoma. In 1965, Mali et al. described the condition ``acro-angidermatitis'' in 18 patients with chronic venous insu¤ciency (1). Other names for this disorder are Stewart-Bluefard syndrome, angiodermatitis, congenital dysplastic angiography, Kaposi-like arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma. Most of cases associated with congenital AVM have developed in the lower leg. We report here a case of angiodermatitis associated with congenital AVM on the elbow.
