Abstract

A case of angiokeratoma was presented. The patient had a red-to-purple soft tissue mass about 1 cm size at volar aspect of the right wrist that gradually enlarged with time to be 9x8x7 cm. Multi-modality imagings were performed and revealed a large, fat-containing mass with multifocal small soft-tissue densities within the fat. The pre- sumptive diagnosis was hemangioma. Angiographic study revealed nearly complete occlusion of the interosseous (feeding) artery with collateral circulation filled its distal part subsequently. This pattern is not common in hemangioma. The histologic diagnosis was angiokeratoma which although being a benign vascular tumor of skin, need wide surgical excision margin to prevent local recurrence. Careful observation of uncommon imaging findings in the case presumptively diagnosed as hemangioma will help to raise the possibility of other entities.
