Selected cutaneous vascular neoplasms. A review.
This article reviews the pathology of benign, borderline, and malignant vascular neoplasms of the skin. The classification of vascular lesions of childhood is presented. Defined variants of hemangioma (including sinusoidal, microvenular, glomeruloid, epithelioid, and targetoid hemosideric hemangioma, as well as acquired tufted hemangioma and angiofibroma) are discussed. Borderline hemangioendotheliomas are classified. Kaposi sarcoma is reviewed with an update on the role of human herpesvirus type 8 in its pathogenesis. Angiosarcoma and acquired progressive lymph-angioma are also discussed.
