Abstract | Cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy (CCV) is a rare idiopathic dermal microangiopathy. Clinically, it presents as diffuse cutaneous telangiectasias that are indistinguishable from other benign vascular entities, thereby posing a diagnostic challenge. We present a case of CCV successfully treated with pulsed dye laser (PDL). A 27-year-old male presented with generalized erythematous macules, diagnosed as CCV via histopathology. After a successful test spot, PDL treatment resulted in significant improvement. The pathogenesis of CCV involves altered dermal microvasculature and veil cell activation. Epidemiologically, it primarily affects Caucasians, most often in the middle-aged adult population. A negative family history of similar lesions can help narrow down the differential diagnosis. Diagnosis requires biopsy, with histopathological examination demonstrating vessel ectasia and collagenous vessel wall thickening. Given its rarity, CCV presents diagnostic and management challenges though PDL emerges as a promising treatment modality for this condition. |
