@entity24429 is a rare, benign, @entity5 , characterized histologically by tufts of capillary-sized vessels in the dermis. Five @entity1 were diagnosed over a 10-year period. All developed the lesions within the first year of life. Four were Chinese and one was Indian. There was no sex predilection. All the lesions occurred on the limbs, mainly proximally, with 40% affecting the upper and 60% the lower limbs. The appearance ranged from erythematous, indurated, annular nodules to plaques. In two @entity1 the lesions had overlying red papules, and @entity12737 was present in three cases. The lesions were tender in all @entity1 . No complications such as @entity1066 , @entity548 , or @entity16970 occurred. All were treated conservatively, with improvement in tenderness in three of four @entity1 after a period of 5 months to 4 years. Decrease in size occurred in one of four @entity1 after 2 years. Our series differs from previous ones in that all the @entity1 developed the lesions before the age of 1 year, all lesions occurred on the limbs, and all were tender. Tenderness and @entity12737 , in addition to induration, may be useful in the clinical differentiation from common @entity2695 .
