Abstract
Angioma serpiginosum is a rare vascular anomaly characterised by presence of multiple erythematous asymptomatic macules or papules organised in small clusters forming a serpiginous pattern. It is rarely associated with extracutaneous findings.
It is most commonly seen in extremities and lesions over the genital region are rarely reported. We hereby report an unusual case of a 45 years old male with penile angioma serpiginosum. The histopathological findings were consistent with angioma serpiginosum.
