Spindle cell carcinoma arising in a port-wine stain

Dermatology. 1993;187(4):270-2. doi: 10.1159/000247262.

Abstract

We report a 75-year-old man with a port-wine stain (PWS) in whom spindle cell carcinoma (SCC) arose within a hemangiomatous area. Although reports on basal call carcinoma in association with a PWS exist, no literature is available about the development of an SCC within a PWS.
