Article Abstract
Background: Tufted angioma, described by Wilson Jones in 1976, is a benign acquired vascular tumor occurring in children or young adults, usually located on the neck or the upper part of the thorax. Pathology examination confirms the diagnosis showing well-limited lobules in the dermis composed of tight clusters of capillaries without atypical cells.
Case Report: An 81-year-old woman consulted for a large extensive angiomatous lesion involving the neck and shoulder which had developed over two years. Histopathology reported tufted angioma. Treatment with pulsed dye laser was unsuccessful.
Discussion: Different treatments have been proposed for tufted angiomas: surgery, cryotherapy, interferon, argon laser and pulsed dye laser. This is a second cases of unsuccessful treatment, perhaps due to deep extension of the angioma.

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.
