===General===
{{Main|intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia}}
*Benign non-neoplastic lesion - a vessel that has thrombosed and recanalized.
*Histomorphologically may be confused with low-grade [[angiosarcoma]] or other soft tissue sarcomas.<ref name=pmid15865098/>
===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.<ref>URL: [http://path.upmc.edu/cases/case544.html http://path.upmc.edu/cases/case544.html]. Accessed on: 25 January 2012.</ref>
 
Notes:
*Looks like [[Kaposi sarcoma]] at high power.

{{Main|Retiform hemangioendothelioma}}
*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.
