We present a 2-year-old boy with a red, cutaneous-subcutaneus, nodule on the right elbow and a 2.5 year-old girl with an red-brown, indurated plaque on the left knee. Colour-coded doppler sonography of the boy's lesion showed vascular structures. A biopsy established the diagnosis of tufted angioma in both patients. Tufted angioma is clinically characterized by slowly spreading erythematous macules and plaques preferentially located on the upper trunk and neck in children. It is a benign tumor, malignant transformation has not been reported. The case history, clinical and histological findings contribute to the diagnosis. Tufted angioma has to be distinguished from Kaposi's sarcoma, angiosarcoma, hemangioma of infancy, sometimes bacillary angiomatosis and other cutaneous capillary malformations. Treatment of tufted angioma is difficult, various modalities like glucocorticosteroids, Interferon-alpha, flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser, excision and spontaneous regression have been described with varying results.
