Summary Four children affected by intradermal vascular proliferations are presented. The clinicopathological findings closely resemble those of cases described as angioblastoma, a familiar entity in the Japanese literature. Some people suggest that angioblastoma is the same as the tufted angioma described by Wilson‐Jones. We found localized hyperhidrosis in two of our patients. Proliferation of eccrine glands near the tumour lobule was a consistent finding in the biopsy specimens from these four patients. In one patient, some of the vascular tufts were replaced by mucinous material. These findings have not been mentioned in previous reports of tufted angioma.
