Summary We report a 62‐year‐old woman with acquired tufted angioma. Several scattered reddish nodules were present on the neck and upper chest. During a follow‐up period of 6 months, some of the lesions showed transient spontaneous regression and one disappeared completely. Electron microscopy revealed that a few tumour cells contained Weibel‐Palade bodies in their cytoplasm.
