[Endothelioma of the skin].
We are reporting on a 71 years old woman suffering from a plaque-like raised nodular neoplasia that existed for two years. The histological changes, though local variable, are characterized by similar structures. The tumor cells are grouped in variably shaped, loose syncytial cords, just by loosing their cytoplasma in vascular-like cavities. Because of their morphological relations to mesenchym Bolck called these tissue-formations "spongiosynchymal" structures. They are considered by this author to characterize the common tissue-attribute of all endotheliomas and similar neoplasias. Additionally the histological pattern of these tumors can show, as in the present case, solid and epitheloid cell formations.
