Keratoses are the horny growth of keratinocytes. Angiomas are benign vascular tumors with dilated blood vessels found in the middle to upper dermis. Lentigines, or liver spots, are brown or black benign macules with a defined border. Telangiectases are single dilated blood vessels, capillaries, or terminal arteries.
