Cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy in a pediatric patient

Maya Firsowicz et al. Pediatr Dermatol. 2023 Mar.

Abstract

We report the case of a 13-year-old female who presented with punctate, erythematous macules coalescing into patches on the upper extremities and left thigh. A skin biopsy demonstrated dilated capillary-sized blood vessels in the papillary dermis consistent with a diagnosis of cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy (CCV). To our knowledge, this is the youngest patient to present with CCV and will represent the third pediatric case in the literature.

Keywords: cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy; pediatric; upper extremities.
