Description
Summary:[...]it is a complex vascular hamartoma with three components, including lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, and smooth muscle. [2],[3] Trauma, surgery, radiation therapy, femoral arteriography, tick bites, and hormonal stimulus may act as precipitating factors for the development of BLAE. Histopathological examination shows vascular channels lined by hobnail endothelial cells in some cases with a variable amount of inflammatory infiltrate and extravasations of erythrocyte and hemosiderin around vessels.
