Cover Story: Poikilodermatous plaque-like hemangioma (PPH) is a recently identified clinical and pathological entity, with only 18 documented cases to date. It typically manifests as an atrophic, erythematous plaque-like lesion, primarily on the lower limbs of males over 50 years old. Histologically, PPH is characterized by a diffuse proliferation of thin-walled vessels in the dermis, accompanied by epidermal changes. The case and review study highlights the clinical and histological features of PPH. Despite its benign nature, PPH's indolent progression underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatments. Differentiating PPH from more serious conditions, such as keratinocyte carcinoma and poikilodermic mycosis fungoides, is crucial. The study adds valuable insights to the limited literature on PPH and emphasizes the importance of recognizing its presentation and behavior. View this paper
