In contrast to common port-wine stains, acquired port-wine stains are extremely rare. We report on an acquired port-wine stain that evolved on the thigh of a 69-year-old male patient and was accompanied by lumbalgia on the same side. Impairment of vegetative nerve fibres by spinal root compression may be considered a causative factor in our patient.
