- Abstract
This article describes a study which determined the prevalence of venous lakes of the lips (VLL) in a general dermatological population and the possible presence of associated factors or risk factors. VLL is defined as a common vascular lesion caused by a focal dilatation of venules, characterized by soft, compressible, dark-blue to violaceous papules, which occurs most often on the lips of elderly patients. Researchers found that VLL represent a minor dermatological and aesthetic problem.
