Angiokeratomas represent vascular lesions and are histologically characterized by superficial vascular ectasia and overlying acanthosis and/or hyperkeratosis. Angiokeratomas can be classified into five types, with angiokeratoma circumscriptum representing the least common of the five types. Angiokeratoma circumscriptum presents at birth and frequently occurs unilaterally on the leg. Herein, we report a rare case of long term angiokeratoma circumscriptum (twelve years) on the right chest, discovered following the excision of a lipoma from the same area.
