Senile hemangioma of the lips

Abstract

A venous lake, sometimes referred to as senile hemangioma of the lips is usually a solitary, non-indurated, soft, compressible, blue papule occurring due to dilatation of venules. It is commonly found on sun-exposed surfaces of the face and ears. We describe a 46 year-old male who presented with this clinical picture on the lower lip.
