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.

Article Synopsis
  • Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma is a rare, benign skin condition mostly seen in people in their 20s, typically affecting the trunk and lower limbs.
  • It presents as a distinctive violaceous papule surrounded by a pale area and an ecchymotic ring, resembling a target.
  • A case study describes a 23-year-old male with a recurring blue-black lesion on his shoulder, diagnosed as targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma based on dermoscopic patterns.

Article Synopsis
  • Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma is a rare vascular skin condition of unknown cause, usually diagnosed through clinical and histological evaluations.
  • A case study of a 31-year-old man with a 2 cm targetoid lesion on his arm highlighted symptoms like pain after pressure and unique dermoscopic findings.
  • The investigation included reviewing six similar cases, noting that spontaneous regression and recurrence are uncommon for this kind of skin lesion.

October 2018

Unit of Dermatology and Sexually-Trasmitted Diseases, P. Giaccone University Hospital, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma is a rare, benign vascular lesion predominantly affecting people in their 20s and 30s, primarily located in the lower limbs and trunk.
  • The study examined three dermoscopic cases and reviewed literature on this condition, highlighting demographic details, common appearances, and specific dermoscopic features.
  • The findings aim to enhance understanding and diagnostic accuracy of targetoid hemosiderotic hemangiomas, especially distinguishing them from other similar lesions like melanoma.

Article Synopsis
  • - Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH) is a benign vascular tumor characterized by a ring-shaped appearance, featuring a central purple-brown spot and outer pale and bruised areas.
  • - Dermoscopy can often help diagnose HH due to its distinct visual patterns, but in this case, the features were atypical, leading to a misdiagnosis.
  • - The unusual presence of arborizing vessels in the dermoscopic pattern ultimately indicated a diagnosis of basocellular carcinoma (BCC), with changes observed over a year correlating with tissue analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • * It has a distinct histological pattern with dilated and angulated blood vessels, and its origin is debated, though some studies suggest it may be a type of lymphatic malformation.
  • * A case of a 41-year-old man with a larger and unusually located hobnail hemangioma on the scalp highlights the need for careful clinical and pathological analysis, especially for atypical presentations.

Article Synopsis
  • Hobnail hemangioma is a benign vascular malformation found mainly in the superficial and mid-dermis that can present in various ways.
  • A review of cases from 2000 to 2014 found 4 male and 2 female pediatric patients, with most lesions appearing on the extremities and some being congenital.
  • While hobnail hemangiomas are generally harmless and may not need treatment, surgical excision is the most effective option if intervention is necessary.

Article Synopsis
  • Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma is a rare, benign lesion that resembles melanoma, making accurate diagnosis challenging.
  • A study analyzed 35 confirmed cases to identify common dermoscopic features, revealing a specific pattern in 71.4% of cases.
  • Dermoscopy enhances diagnosis accuracy but caution is needed as some hemangiomas may display non-targetoid patterns that could be confused with more serious lesions.

Article Synopsis
  • Targetoid Hemosiderotic Hemangioma, or Hobnail Hemangioma, is a vascular lesion typically appearing as a single purple bump with a light ring and bruising around it, resembling a target.
  • It has a distinct histological appearance with swollen blood vessels near the surface and a unique deep dermis pattern, featuring hobnail-shaped endothelial cells.
  • The condition is rare but can be effectively treated with a simple surgical excision.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hobnail hemangioma (HH) is a rare skin lesion typically seen in children and young to middle-aged adults, characterized by a central brown or violet nodule often with a surrounding ecchymotic halo.
  • - Recent studies suggest that HHs may originate from lymphatic tissues, despite the exact cause still being unclear.
  • - The authors propose renaming this condition to "superficial hemosiderotic lymphovascular malformation" to better reflect its characteristics and promote more accurate diagnosis, avoiding confusion with hemangiomas.

Article Synopsis
  • Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH) is a benign vascular tumor that typically appears as a central purplish spot surrounded by a clear area and an outer bruise-like ring.
  • While THH is often associated with hemosiderin deposits, not all cases exhibit this classic appearance.
  • A unique case is reported where a patient had multiple THH lesions without any previous trauma, making this presentation unusual compared to typical cases linked to minor injury.

Hobnail hemangioma (targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma) is a vascular tumor affecting the limbs or trunk. Characteristically, the lesion has a "targetoid" clinical feature and dilated vascular spaces lined by hobnail endothelial cells at histologic examination. The age of onset is widely variable, form 5~67 years, typically occurring in young or middle-aged persons.

Article Synopsis
  • Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH), or hobnail hemangioma, is a benign vascular lesion thought to originate from lymphatic tissue.
  • A study was conducted on 12 pediatric cases of THH to analyze clinical and histopathologic data, including the presence of lymphatic vessels using immunostaining techniques.
  • The results indicated that THH should be considered a lymphatic vascular malformation, with low proliferation potential, though the small sample size is a limitation of the study.

Differentiation of vascular tumors from vascular malformations by expression of Wilms tumor 1 gene: evaluation of 126 cases.

J Am Acad Dermatol

December 2010

Division of Dermatology, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine, University of Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Article Synopsis
  • Vascular tumors and malformations often mimic each other, but they require different approaches for diagnosis and treatment, with the WT1 gene playing a role in many tumors.* -
  • This study evaluated WT1 expression in 126 vascular lesions, finding that all vascular tumors showed positive WT1 staining, while only a few vascular malformations did.* -
  • The results suggest that WT1 immunohistochemistry can help differentiate between vascular tumors and malformations, potentially guiding clinicians in complex cases.*
