A tufted angioma (also known as an "acquired tufted angioma," "angioblastoma," "angioblastoma of Nakagawa," "hypertrophic hemangioma," "progressive capillary hemangioma," and "tufted hemangioma"[1][2]) usually develops in infancy or early childhood on the neck and upper trunk, and is an ill-defined, dull red flat mark with a mottled appearance, varying from 2 to 5 cm in diameter.[2]: 596
It is rare, and males and females are affected equally.[3]
