{{Main|intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia}}
Features:
*Well-circumscribed - '''key (low power) feature'''.  
*Abundant small vascular channels with benign endothelium.
 
Notes:
*Looks like Kaposi sarcoma at high power.

*Classically on the scalp or head & neck.
*May arise secondary to therapeutic radiation or chronic lymphoedema related to breast carcinoma.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Very many small capillaries of irregular shape lined with:
**Pleomorphic nuclei.
***May have hobnail morphology.
*Mitoses.
*Cytoplasmic vacuoles.
**Cells trying to form lumina - embryologic.
 
Notes:
*Epithelioid variant (with abundant cytoplasm & sheeting architecture) may resemble ''[[melanoma]]'' or ''[[hepatocellular carcinoma]]''.
