Acroangiodermatitis is a rare vasoproliferative disorder, usually affecting the lower limbs and is associated with congenital or acquired vascular conditions. There are two variants of acroangioderm matitis-Mali type (associated with venous hypertension) and Stewal Bluefarb type, which is associated with arteriovenous malformation, or acquired iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula in patients with chronic renal failure. Acroangiodermatitis is clinically characterized by angiomatous papules and plaques, which mimics Kaposi's sarcoma. The authors present a case of a 63-year-old man with acroangiodermatitis of the lower limbs and chronic venous insufficiency who was treated with elastocompressive therapy.

Abstract
Acroangiodermatitis is a rare vasoproliferative disorder, usually affecting the lower limbs and is associated with congenital or acquired vascular conditions. There are two variants of acroangioderm matitis-Mali type (associated with venous hypertension) and Stewal Bluefarb type, which is associated with arteriovenous malformation, or acquired iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula in patients with chronic renal failure. Acroangiodermatitis is clinically characterized by angiomatous papules and plaques, which mimics Kaposi's sarcoma. The authors present a case of a 63-year-old man with acroangiodermatitis of the lower limbs and chronic venous insufficiency who was treated with elastocompressive therapy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
