Зображення 01035. Haemangioma on the chest

A combination of superficial and deep haemangioma on the chest. A superficial haemangioma is also known as port-wine stain or nevus flammeus and is congenital. It often darkens with age and more cavernous nodules may grow into it. The haemangioma depicted here also has a deeper part that is dimly visible in bluish colour through the skin. The superficial part of the port-wine stain may be treated with pulsed dye laser therapy.
