Cherry angioma, also called cherry hemangioma [1] or Campbell de Morgan Spot, [2] is a small bright red dome-shaped bump on the skin. [3] It ranges between 0.5 – 6 mm in diameter and usually several are present, typically on the chest and arms, and increasing in number with age. [3] [4] If scratched, they may bleed. [5]
They often appear in: Von Hippel–Lindau disease: It can be associated with Von Hippel–Lindau disease and is a rare genetic multi-system disorder characterized by the abnormal growth of tumours in the body.
Angiomas are benign tumors derived from cells of the vascular or lymphatic vessel walls (endothelium) or derived from cells of the tissues surrounding these vessels. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Angiomas are a frequent occurrence as patients age, but they might be an indicator of systemic problems such as liver disease.

They are often seen to overlap with tufted angiomas (TAs) but TAs may be a milder, benign counterpart. [14] KHEs show as a red or purple expanding mass of soft tissue, [14] found mostly in infants. Under the microscope KHE is characterised by nodules of tumor-like spindled endothelial cells. [14]
Chorioangioma, or chorangioma, is a benign tumor of placenta.It is a hamartoma-like growth in the placenta consisting of blood vessels, [1] and is seen in approximately 0.5 to 1% pregnancies. [2]
Most patients need at least two procedures done for the removal process to be achieved. Recurrence is possible but unlikely for those lesions able to be removed completely via excisional surgery. [13] Radiotherapy and chemical cauteries are not as effective with the lymphangioma than they are with the hemangioma. [14]
Differential diagnosis includes vascular malformation, angioma, pyogenic granuloma, angiosarcoma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and other more rare vascular tumors. Three forms of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia exist: the primary or pure form, the secondary or mixed form, and the extravascular form.
