Three cases of eruptive pseudoangiomatosis in adults

Eruptive pseudoangiomatosis (EPA) is a rare, benign, spontaneously- regressing exanthem. The term EPA was to describe a dermatosis characterized by the sudden onset of a few to several bright red angioma-like papules which is different histopathologically from true angioma. Herein we describe three cases of typical EPA in adults and review the literature. Based on our experience, it is likely that EPA has been misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed in the clinic and that it occurs more frequently in adults than previously reported.
