Angioma serpiginosum (AS) is a rare benign vascular lesion that typically arises in early childhood, with a prevalence in female, and then grow up over a period of months/years. It is characterized by small asymptomatic purple-red dots that cluster together and they do not disappear on diascopy. It is mainly localized on the arms but some cases on face and neck have been reported. The etiology of AS is unknown, dermoscopy may aid in the diagnosis but usually the biopsy is necessary. We report 2 cases: one male and one female with angioma serpiginosum, aged 13 and 8 years old.
