This lesion arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritations, traumatic injury, or hormonal factors. Recently, in some cases, the occurrence of recurrent PGs in skin associated with vascular lesions, such as port-wine stains, has been described. It has been postulated that this association is promoted by arteriovenous anastomoses in the vascular lesions, leading to the development of PG. The authors discuss 2 cases of recurrent PG in patients with a port-wine stain, and the treatment options adopted.2356–2358engArtigo10.1097/SCS.0b013e318231e33bAcesso restrito9646476961134419711316682204027298253391764145451622189974684508030318239916199007436901783757100000-0002-1330-1983
