Angiokeratomas are benign skin lesions that can resemble melanomas or verrucae. Although morbidity from these lesions is rare, treatment for angiokeratomas typically consists of simple surgical excision. We aim to describe a case of a painful angiokeratoma that presented with the appearance of melanoma.

The dermoscopic rainbow pattern (RP), also known as polychromatic pattern, is characterized by a multicolored appearance, resulting from the dispersion of polarized light as it penetrates various tissue components. Its separation into different wavelengths occurs according to the physics principles of scattering, absorption, and interference of light, creating the optical effect of RP. Even though the RP is regarded as a highly specific dermoscopic indicator of Kaposi's sarcoma, in the medical literature, it has also been documented as an atypical dermoscopic finding of other non-Kaposi skin entities.

Article Synopsis
- Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH) is a rare vascular lesion that mainly affects adults, usually developing after trauma, with no significant gender preference.
- The review analyzes THH's characteristics, differentiating it from similar conditions like Kaposi's sarcoma and retiform hemangioendothelioma.
- Clinically, THH appears as painless lesions with a distinctive target-like look; histologically, it shows specific vascular features and can be identified with immunohistochemical markers.

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by α-galactosidase A deficiency, leading to intralysosomal build-up of glycosphingolipids. In this case report, a 35-year-old male presented with thousands of angiokeratomas, primarily concentrated in the "bathing-trunk" area. Despite numerous visits to doctors in different specialities FD was not suspected.

Vascular anomalies (VA) are classified as either vascular tumors or vascular malformations. Vascular tumors are characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of endothelial cells, whereas vascular malformations result from defects in the pathways that regulate the development of vascular channels during embryogenesis. Dermatological ultrasound has emerged as a critical diagnostic tool for distinguishing VA from other conditions and differentiating among various types of VA by providing detailed imaging characteristics.
