Verrucous hemangioma (VH) is an uncommon congenital vascular lesion that presents at birth or in early childhood. The clinical and histopathological resemblance to angiokeratoma and infantile hemangioma raises the question of it being a variant or a separate distinct entity. The authors take this opportunity of reporting a case of VH, occurring in a 14-year-old female for its rarity and the possibility of recurrence, if not diagnosed correctly and treated by wide excision followed by skin grafting.
