Haemangiomatous lesions of lymph nodes. Report of two cases and review of literature.
Two cases of haemangiomatous lesions in lymph nodes are described in this paper. They were recorded from a pelvic lymph node of a gravid woman. 42 years old, with adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix, and from an axillary lymph node of a woman, aged 57 years, with malignant cystosarcoma phyllodes of the breast with chondro-osteoid and osteoblastic differentiation. The haemangiomatous lesions were situated cortically or paracortically and composed of round, densely arranged, dilated capillary blood vessels with walls lined by one single endothelial layer. Comparison with the few cases so far published supports the assumption that the differences described may have been caused by development phases of the lesions, but are in fact one nosological entity.
