Staghorn vessels, also known as hemangiopericytoma-like vessels, are a non-specific finding seen in a number of tumours.[1]

Features:
- Small branching vessels:
- "Antler-like" or "staghorn-like" appearance.

- Micrographs:
- Gross:
Differential diagnosis
Entities in which staghorn vessels are seen:
- Solitary fibrous tumour/hemangiopericytoma.[1]
- Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST).[1]
- Synovial sarcoma.[1]
- Myofibroma.[1]
Others:[1]
- Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma.
