Port-wine stain is a vascular malformation characterized pathologically by ectasia of superficial dermal capillaris and clinically by persistent macular erythema. The association of a port-wine stain on a limb with soft tissue swelling, with or without bony overgrowth, is termed klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Phakomatosis pigmento-vascularis is a combination of port-wine stain and cutaneous ...

Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is an effective treatment for port- wine stain and can cause some short- term and long- term side- effects. Pyogenic granoluma is one of its late- onset adverse effects. Herein, we present two cases of pyogenic granoluma following treatment of port- wine stain with PDL.

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...

Port- wine stain is a congenital vascular malformation originating from superficial dermal vessels which is characterized by ectasia of the capillaries. Currently, pulsed dye laser (PDL) is used to treat these vascular lesions. To date, there are few reports of eczematous lesions due to PDL. Herein, we report three cases of eczema following PDL, used for treatment of port- wine stain in Razi ho...

background: subglottic stenosis is defined as inflammatory narrowing of the airway. it can be related to trauma, intubation, autoimmune disorders, vascular malformations, infection and congenital abnormalities. pot-wine stain (pws) is a small dermis venous malformation which is present at birth. pws is found on face and neck, but can occur in throat and can cause subglottic stenosis. case repor...

introduction: klippel–trenaunay syndrome (kts) is a rare congenital mesodermal abnormality characterized by varicose veins, cutaneous capillary malformation, as well as bone and soft tissue hypertrophy. case report: a 2-week-old female infant presented to our clinic because of vascular nevus and progressive enlargement of her right extremities and trunk since birth. the patient was treated with...

Phakomatosis Pigmentovascularis (PPV) is a rare cutaneous congenital malformation syndrome, defined as simultaneous occurrence of congenital cutaneous vascular and pigmentary anomalies. As most of the reported cases are from Far East countries, especially Japan, we reported a case of PPV type IIa in an Iranian patient. This case was unusual because of the coexistence of unilateral extensive por...

We report phakomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) detected in a 40- year-old male characterized by the presence of a port-wine stain in the background of aberrant Mongolian spots covering the back, nevus of Ota, ocular melanosis, epidermal nevus and a scaly patch with the diagnosis of discoid lupus erytematosus. These associations have not been reported yet.
