Recurrence of solitary angiokeratoma of tongue

Angiokeratoma is a rare vascular disorder, only first to be reported in 1997, mostly seen as one of the earliest clinical features of systemic muco-cutaneous disorders. The presence of oral angiokeratomas as solitary entity is very rare. Only 7 such presentations are reported in the English medical literature. We present a case of solitary angiokeratoma of the dorsum of the tongue in a 65 year old woman that showed recurrence 2 years after a surgical intervention.
