Angiomatosis [ or Diffuse Hemangima] is a rare condition in which large segments of the body are involved by proliferating vessels. By now, some authers say that this lesion begins during early intrauterine life when the limb buds form, grow proportionately with the fetus, and consequently affect large areas of the trunk or extremity. The majority of angiomatoses present during childhood or infancy as swelling, induration, or discoloration of the affected area. The patient was 13 year old male and had no specific signs and symptoms except palpable mass on the left lateral chest wall from childhood and a painful tender mass on the posterior chest wall for 5 days before admission. The chest PA showed no abnormalities.The operation was done with the resection of left 10th rib and 9th and 10th intercostal muscles including masses and the ligation of the both intercostal and feeding vessels of the masses. The pathologic result was angiomatosis involving intercostal muscles and rib.

A 1-year-old castrated mixed-breed dog presented with diffuse, purple lesions arranged in an irregular patchy pattern, with a slight elevation on the right hindlimb extending from the tarsus joint to the upper region of the thigh. Dermatological examinations and fungal and bacterial cultures revealed no infectious agents. The therapeutic response to antibiotics and antifungal agents was negative. A histopathology examination of the lesion revealed vascular proliferation with vasodilation and numerous varying-sized vessels. Mast-cell-dominated perivascular cuffing was also noted. The dog was diagnosed with cutaneous angiomatosis due to diffuse lesions and the histopathology findings of hemangioma.

Sturge - Weber Syndrome is a congenital disorder and characterized by facial hemangioma following one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve, epilepsy, mental retardation, contralateral hemiplegia, occlular involvement, gingival involvement. A 34 year old Korean man, a 25 year old Korean woman and a 48 year old Korean woman were found to have red - purple colored pigmentation on the hemifacial area and upper oral mucosal area.

Cat scratch disease is a zoonotic disease usually caused by the gram-negative bacterium Bartonella henselae. It is transmitted commonly by scratch or bite from cats or kitten. Cat scratch disease typically affects children and young adults, who develop regional lymphadenopathy. In contrast, in immunocompromised hosts, bacteremia may occur, bacillary angiomatosis and bacillary peliosis hepatitis or splenitis are the most common manifestations. Bartonella henselae was detected in three of thirty veterinarians and Bartonella clarridgeiae was detected in one of thirty veterinarians by a novel nested polymerase chain reaction. Cat scratch disease will not be neglected, and it needs continuous studies as well as observation and prevention of this disease.

Von Recklinghausen`s neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis and encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis[Sturge-Kalischer-Weber syndrome] are frequently classified under the heading of organic neurocutaneous syndromes. Both neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis are believed to represent instances of simple autosomal dominant heredity. Multiple neurofibroma and cafe*-au-lait spots are the hallmarks of the van-Recklinghausen`s disease. The characteristic features of the fully developed syndrome are [1] pigmentation of the skin, including cafe*-au-lait spots, pigmented freckles and males, and occasionally a generalized darkening of the skin; [2] subcutaneous nodules and deep neurofibromatous tumors and diffuse plexiform growths of neural tissue; [3] skeletal anomalies, especially scoliosis; and [4] predilection to malignancy. In recent years cystic lung disease, usually of the so-called honeycomb lung variety, has been reported on several occasions in patients with tuberous sclerosis. This association has been shown to our sporadically as well as in members of a single family. Little attention has been paid to the presence of cystic lung disease in association with neurofibromatosis. Currently, most think of thoracic involvement in neurofibromatosis in terms of posterior mediastinal neuroma, pheochromocytoma, meningocele or, less commonly, parenchymal pulmonary neurofibromatosis. Author have experienced a case of von Recklinghausen`s disease. This case developed a huge neurofibroma in the both side thorax and invaded to the Lt. 7th rib.
