ABSTRACT
Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH) is a benign vascular tumor characterized by a central violaceous papule with a clear periphery bordered by an ecchymotic ring. Originally coined by its characteristic halo appearance with hemosiderin deposits, not all THHs have this classic halo or hemosiderin composition. We report a unique case of THH in which the patient presented with multiple lesions with no prior trauma. Multiple THH lesions have been linked to minor trauma; however, the presence of 4 concurrent lesions with the absence of trauma makes this THH presentation atypical and unique.
