Cherry angiomas are the most common cutaneous vascular proliferations. They are often widespread and appear as tiny cherry-red papules or macules.
Involvement is limited to the skin.
These benign lesions are formed by a proliferation of dilated venules. Lesions are benign and in general do not undergo spontaneous involution. Patients may demonstrate considerable concern in relation to their cosmetic appearance. They are found in individuals of all races and ethnic backgrounds. No distinction can be made on the basis of sex.
