Multiple subcutaneous reactive angioendotheliomatosis in a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome

Abstract

We report a case of multiple subcutaneous haemangiomas in a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome accompanied by severe pulmonary embolism. The haemangiomas were considered to be reactive owing to the presence of thrombi, and they had increased in number over the years. We report a rare instance of multiple reactive angioendotheliomatosis nodules developing solely in the subcutaneous tissue and in the absence of superficial symptoms, which has not been previously reported.
