Acquired tufted angioblastoma in an immunocompetent patient

Acquired tufted angioma (ATA) is a rare benign vascular tumor, most commonly localized to skin and subcutaneous tissues. Its name is based on its specific histologic pattern, characterized by lobular arrangement of densely cellular capillaries, grouped in glomerular pattern looking like ‘cannon-ball’. These vascular tufts are comprised of endothelial cells and associated pericytes. Angioblastoma are often associated with immunocompromised state. We report a case of acquired painful solitary angioblastoma in immunocompetent adult individual.
