Micrograph showing a capillary hemangioma, a common type of vascular tumour. H&E stain.

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

Lymphangioma

General

Treatment:

  • Surgical excision.

Microscopic

Features:[2][1]

  • Thin-walled channels lined by endothelium.
  • +/-Eosinophilic intraluminal material.
