Tufted Angiomas, also known as angioblastomas/Angioblastoma of Nagakawa, are rare vascular neoplasms of both sexes localised to the skin and subcutaneous tissues with the upper trunk and neck being the most common sites. They are more common in children but a few cases in juveniles and adults have been reported. Typically, Tufted Angioma remains stable or can show rarely a spontaneous regression. This article wants to evaluate the efficacy of current treatment modalities for tufted angioma (TA). A review was performed using PubMed database (Medline) for clinical studies. We report our case, a 29-year-old female who presented with a second finger of the left hand, painful, slowly progressive, firm swelling diagnosed as Tufted Angioma on histopathology and immunohistochemistry after complete surgical excision.

Article Synopsis
  • A lecture titled "Anticoagulation and Vascular Anomalies" was held at the ISTH Congress in 2023, discussing the management of vascular anomalies which are categorized as tumors or malformations.
  • Some vascular tumors and malformations may lead to coagulation issues, but anticoagulation is generally not the standard treatment for these conditions, except for specific cases.
  • Slow-flow vascular malformations carry a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), and in these cases, anticoagulation may be necessary to mitigate risks and manage symptoms, with new data on these subjects presented at the conference.
