Angioinvasion, also vascular invasion, is spread of tumour into a blood vessel.[1]

Angioinvasion is typically lumped with lymphatic invasion and referred to as lymphovascular invasion. This article only deals with angioinvasion.

General

  • The distinction between lymphatic invasion and lymphovascular invasion is usually not important. One important exception is the thyroid gland.[2]

Vascular invasion is occasionally seen in the benign tumours:

Microscopic

Features:

  • Tumour within a vascular space.
    • Vascular space: endothelial cells, red blood cells.

Note:

  • One strict definitions requires thrombus adherent to tumour.[2]
