A
13-year-old girl and her little sister were born
with bluish nodular cutaneous vascular lesions,
respectively, on lower back and thigh (Fig. 1). The
lesions became more visible as they got older and a
few new lesions developed over time. No mucosal le-
sions were found. Recently the lesions became tender
by touch, why a dermatologist was consulted. It was
revealed, that the father and grandfather of the girls
had similar lesions.
What is the likely diagnosis?
