Hemangioma in a lymph node.
Hemangiomas occurring in lymph nodes are extremely rare and, to our knowledge, have been documented in the literature only once previously. We report an additional case that was found incidentally in a patient who had undergone a right hemicolectomy and small-bowel resection for widespread angiodysplasia. In addition, the patient also had a third type of vascular lesion, namely, a hemangiopericytoma of the oral mucosa. We also reviewed the literature regarding vasoformative lesions occurring in lymph nodes.
