Background: Acquired port-wine stains (APWS) are rare vascular malformations that share the same clinical and histological features as their congenital counterparts. Rare cases of AWPS secondary to trauma or in association with medications have been reported in the literature.
Patients And Methods: We report two cases of APWS. One case appeared at the age of 2 months, the earliest reported in the literature and continued to evolve till the age of 3 years presenting with multifocal distribution mainly affecting the lower face. The second case developed during oral isotretinoin intake and persisted after discontinuation of the treatment.
Results And Conclusions: The second patient declined treatment, but the first patient had a remarkable improvement following treatment with the pulsed dye laser, which remains the standard of care for capillary malformations on the face.

Port-wine stain (PWS) are vascular malformations characterised by dilated dermal capillaries with normal endothelial cells. Congenital PWS are the most prevalent vascular malformation affecting 0.3-1% of newborns while acquired PWS (APWS), though an uncommon entity, exhibit morphological and histological similarity to congenital PWS.

Article Synopsis
- * LCH is characterized by clusters of small blood vessels with prominent endothelial cells and many red blood cells, requiring careful diagnosis to differentiate it from similar lesions.
- * Although most oral hemangiomas shrink on their own, if they persist into adulthood, they can cause problems like difficulty in speaking and swallowing, as demonstrated by a rare case of LCH in a 51-year-old man.

Two cases of acquired port-wine stain (APWS) at lower extremity were treated with hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) and 532 nm LED green light-mediated photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT). No serious adverse reactions were observed during or post-treatment period. Five-month follow-up showed significant reduction of red patches after a single HMME-PDT treatment in both cases.

Article Synopsis
- Portwine stains (PWS) are congenital birthmarks that require accurate area measurement for classification and treatment purposes.
- This study investigated using 3D scanning combined with deep learning techniques to automate the quantification of PWS areas.
- The results showed that the improved DeepLabV3+ model effectively extracted PWS lesions with high accuracy, demonstrating its potential for clinical applications in measuring these birthmarks.
