Venous lake je senilni hemangiom usana. To je obično meka, plava kvrga uzrokovana proširenim malim venama. Obično se pojavljuje sam i nije tvrd na dodir. Često se javlja na dijelovima lica i ušiju koji su jako osunčani. Došao je 46-godišnji muškarac s plavičastom kvržicom na donjoj usni koja je rasla 8 mjeseci. Počelo je s malim, a s vremenom je postajalo sve veće. Rekao je da nije ozlijedio područje. Nije doživio nikakvo krvarenje bez razloga ili nakon manjih ozljeda. Kad su ga doktori pregledali, pronašli su mu jednu plavičastu kvržicu na donjoj usni koja je bila mekana i laka za stiskanje. Liječnik ga je liječio krioterapijom pomoću tekućeg dušika, zamrzavajući leziju na 10 sekundi s malom marginom oko nje. Ovaj tretman radili su svaka dva tjedna. Nakon 12 tjedana došlo je do određenog poboljšanja.
A venous lake, sometimes referred to as senile hemangioma of the lips is usually a solitary, non-indurated, soft, compressible, blue papule occurring due to dilatation of venules. It is commonly found on sun-exposed surfaces of the face and ears. A 46 year old male patient presented with an 8 month history of a single, painless, bluish swelling over the lower lip which began as a pea sized lesion and gradually increased to the present size. Patient strongly denied any history of trauma at the site. No history of bleeding spontaneously or following minimal trauma could be elicited. On physical examination, a single, violaceous, soft, compressible, non-indurated, non-pulsatile papule was present on the lower lip. Patient was treated with cryotherapy with application of liquid nitrogen by dipstick method with one 10-second freeze-thaw cycle with a 1-mm margin. This was done at biweekly intervals. Some improvement was obtained following 12 weeks of therapy.
