Diagnostic parameters of vascular neoplasms by immunohistochemistry.
Immunohistochemical identification of Factor VIII-related antigen and Ulex Europaeus A-I lectin as endothelial markers were studied in a series of 103 cases, comprising of benign and malignant vascular tumours, and few undifferentiated sarcomas. The results are correlated with that of others in this area and emphasizes the utility of these markers in surgical pathological diagnosis, especially to confirm the difficult diagnosis of angiosarcoma from other poorly differentiated sarcomas.
