Abstract

ACQUIRED PORTWINE STAIN: A RARE OCCURRENCE: A CASE REPORT

Aakanksha, Nita Kumari and Upasana Chauhan*

ABSTRACT

Port wine stains (PWS) are congenital low-flow vascular malformations of the skin that represent a progressive
ectasia of superficial cutaneous vascular plexus. Unlike haemangiomas, PWS do not involute over time, but often
continue to progress and evolve into adulthood. Acquired PWSs are infrequently reported in the literature. Less
than 75 cases of acquired PWS have been reported and the first case in India was reported in 2015. We report an
acquired port wine stain in a 21-year-old female. The various theories, causative factors and treatment modalities
have been discussed.
