- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 36-year-old man who was experiencing multiple reddish-orange papules on the left side of cheek, nose, and chin. The biopsy of the specimen taken from the lesion on the cheek revealed dermal fibrosis, a proliferation of angiectatic vessels, and a mild hyperkeratosis. Histopathological findings indicate the diagnosis of facial angiofibromas (FA).
