Abstract: We report a 62-year-old woman with acquired tufted angioma. Several scattered reddish nodules were present on the neck and upper chest. During a follow-up period of 16 months, some of the lesions showed transient spontaneous regression and one disappeared completely. Electron microscopy revealed that a few tumour cells contained Weibel-Palade bodies in their cytoplasm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
