Racemose hemangioma is a rare, benign vascular malformation. In the episclera, it appears as dilated, tortuous blood vessels that pass from the fornix over the globe surface to the limbal area, without capillary architecture, and then loop backward into the fornix. Fluorescein angiogram reveals the vascular malformation with rapid flow and confirms the episcleral vessels to be large in caliber and with a curvilinear, twisted configuration. We report the case of a 22-year-old man with nonhemorrhagic, coincidental racemose hemangioma of the episclera.
