This article covers soft tissue vascular tumours. Vascular malformations are covered in the vascular malformations article.
Normal histology
Normal blood vessel histology is dealt with in the vascular disease article.
Mimics
Distinct entities
Hemangioma
General
- May be found in the liver.
- Classically subcapsular.
- May rupture and be life-threatening.[1]
- Classically subcapsular.
Hemangiomas to remember - if you're only going remember a few:
- Glomeruloid, infantile, caverous, capillary, arteriovenous, venous and intramuscular.
Childhood
Common childhood hemangiomas:[2]
- Tufted - small clusters of blood vessels.
- Microvenular hemangioma.
- Glomeruloid hemangioma - associated with POEMS syndrome, Castleman disease.[3][4]
- Epithelioid hemangioma - see angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.
- Targetoid hemosideric hemangioma.
- Infantile hemangioma (AKA juvenile hemangioma[5]) - these tumours are GLUT-1 +ve. They tumours grow and then spontaneously regress.[6]
Soft tissue
Several types are seen in soft tissue:[7]
- Capillary.
- Cavernous.
- Arteriovenous.
- Venous.
- Intramuscular.
- Synovial.
Microscopic
Features:
- Channels lined by endothelium containing RBCs.

IHC
- CD31 +ve.
- D2-40 -ve.[8]
Juvenile hemangioma:[5]
- GLUT-1 +ve.
Sign out
SUBCUTANEOUS NECK LESION, LEFT, EXCISION: - CAVERNOUS HEMANGIOMA. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
Lymphangioma
General
- Benign.
- Classically in the left neck.[9]
- May be seen in Turner syndrome.
Treatment:
- Surgical excision.
Microscopic
- Thin-walled channels lined by endothelium.
- +/-Eosinophilic intraluminal material.
- +/-Clusters of intraluminal lymphocytes.
- +/-Occasional RBCs.
DDx:
Images:
IHC
- D2-40 +ve.
Kaposi sarcoma
- Abbreviated KS.
General
- Caused by Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8).
- In the North American context, it is often associated with immunodeficiency, e.g. HIV/AIDS.
Interesting note:
- It has been said that KS is not really a sarcoma.[12]
Stages
It is seen in different stages:[13][14]
- Patch stage.
- Plaque stage.
- Nodular stage.
- Exophytic stage.
- Infiltrative stage.
- Lymphadenopathic stage.
Note:
- The first three are the classic ones.
Type or form
Classically divided into four types:[15][16][17]
- Classic = old men Mediterranean or Ashkenazi Jew.
- Endemic = African infants and young males.
- Immunosuppression-associated or transplant-associated - iatrogenic.
- AIDS-associated.
Microscopic
Features:[18]
- Vascular lesion (abundant RBCs) with:
- +/-"Promontory sign" - small vessel protruding into an abnormal vascular space.[19]
- Not pathognomonic for KS.[20]
- +/-Spindle cells with minimal nuclear atypia.
- RBC extravasation - very useful - important feature.[21]
- +/-"Promontory sign" - small vessel protruding into an abnormal vascular space.[19]
- +/-Intracytoplasmic hyaline globules - uncommon - one usu. needs to search for 'em.[22]
- Pale pink globs (that are paler than RBCs) - important feature.
- +/-Hemosiderin deposits.
- +/-Plasma cells.[23]
Notes:
- Hyaline globules have a DDx (hepatocellular carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, chondrosarcomas + others).[22]
DDx:
- Angiosarcoma - have many mitoses, nuclear atypia, RBC extravasation not common.
- Masson's hemangioma - AKA intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia.
- Benign lymphangioendothelioma.[24]
- Histologically very similar.[25]
Images:
- Kaposi sacoma - high mag. (WC).
- Kaposi sarcoma - intermed. mag. (WC).
- Promontory sign (diagnosticpathology.org).
Stains
- PAS +ve -- hyaline globules.
IHC
- CD31 +ve.
- CD34 +ve.
- HHV-8 +ve.
Masson hemangioma
General
- Benign non-neoplastic lesion - a vessel that has thrombosed and recanalized.
- Histomorphologically may be confused with low-grade angiosarcoma or other soft tissue sarcomas.[26]
Microscopic
Features:
- Well-circumscribed - key (low power) feature.
- Abundant small vascular channels with benign endothelium.
- +/-Papillary formation with a fibrotic core covered by benign endothelium.[28]
Notes:
- Looks like Kaposi sarcoma at high power.
Images:
Angiosarcoma
General
- Malignant tumour - general has a poor prognosis.[29]
Epidemiology:
- May arise secondary to chronic lymphedema related to breast carcinoma.
- Known as Stewart–Treves syndrome.[30]
- Liver angiosarcomas are associated with vinyl chloride exposure.[31]
- Cutaneous angiosarcomas are classically seen on the head and neck of whites over 60 years old.[32]
Microscopic
Features:
- Very many small capillaries of irregular shape lined with:
- Pleomorphic nuclei.
- May have hobnail morphology.
- Pleomorphic nuclei.
- Mitoses.
- Cytoplasmic vacuoles.
- Cells trying to form lumina - embryologic.
Notes:
- Epithelioid variant (with abundant cytoplasm & sheeting architecture) may resemble melanoma or hepatocellular carcinoma.
DDx:
- Atypical vascular lesion.
- Kaposi sarcoma.
- Poorly differentiated carcinoma.
Images:
- Epithelioid angiosarcoma - very low mag. (WC).
- Epithelioid angiosarcoma - intermed mag. (WC).

- UEA-1 lectin +ve.
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma
- Should not be confused with epithelioid hemangioma.
General
Microscopic
Features:[37]
- Large epithelioid perivascular cells with:
- Abundant pale eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- Cytoplasmic vacuolation (some cells) - AKA "blister cells" - key feature.
- May form lumen and have RBC within.
- Vesicular nucleus with prominent nucleolus in some cells.
- Tuft-like projections into capillaries.
- Tumour cells may be in well-circumscribed paucicellular nodules or more cellular poorly formed aggregates.

- Angiosarcoma, epithelioid.
- Hemangioma.
