Recurrent local palmer peeling associated with Port-Wine stain

A 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...

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...

[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...

Cutaneous New World Leishmaniasis on a Port-wine stain birthmark*

We present an interesting case report of two sarcoid-like lesions on a port-wine stain (PWS) birthmark in a Brazilian patient which on investigation proved to be cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Basal cell carcinoma arising in a port-wine stain.

BACKGROUND The occurrence of basal cell carcinoma within a port-wine stain or nevus flammeus is rare. Sixteen cases of basal cell carcinoma which developed in a port-wine stain or nevus flammeus have been reported. OBJECTIVE The objective was to demonstrate a rare case of basal cell carcinoma occurring in a port-wine stain successfully treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. METHODS This is...
