Cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy is a rare microangiopathy of dermal blood
vessels. Clinically indistinguishable from generalized essential telangiectasia,
this condition is diagnosed by its unique histological appearance. In contrast to
other primary telangiectatic processes, cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy has
dilated vascular structures that contain deposits of eosinophilic hyaline
material within the vessel walls. To date, cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy has
been described in a total of 19 cases in the medical literature. The first
several cases were described exclusively in middle-aged to elderly men. Though it
has now been described in both men and women, cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy
is still most often described in middle-aged to older adults. No particular
disease or medication has been linked to the development of cutaneous collagenous
vasculopathy, and the etiology remains unknown. In this case series, the authors
present three additional patients diagnosed with cutaneous collagenous
vasculopathy and discuss their clinical and histopathologic features.
