Abstract

Angiokeratoma circumscriptum is an uncommon vascular entity. The lesion is present at birth and usually involves the lower extremities. A 9-year-old girl presented with multiple pink-colored, small-raised lesions in the dorsal part of her tongue, which had been present since birth. There was no history of trauma, cold injury, or similar lesions elsewhere in her body. She complained of pain and rare bleeding from the lesions after eating hard foods. Physical examination showed multiple, grouped, erythematous, shiny papules mostly in the dorsal aspect of the tongue. There were no other lesions in other parts of the oral mucosa. After an incisional biopsy of the lesion, the diagnosis was made as solitary angiokeratoma circumscriptum.
