The small, vascular bright-red, papular lesions shown on the image are called cherry hemangiomas and are the most common being vascular tumors in adults. Cherry hemangiomas appear during the most common benign vascular tumors in adults. Cherry hemangiomas appear during the third or forth decade of life. They do not regress spontaneously, and their number often increase with age, which is why they are also referred to as senile hemangiomas. Cherry hemangiomas, also referred to as cherry angiomas, are always cutaneous and are not found on the mucosa or deep tissue. Histologically, they appear as sharply circumscribed of congested capillaries and post-capillary venules in the papillary dermis.
