Histopathological Study of Vascular Lesions
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: Vascular lesions show a broad variety of morphological appearances and cilinical behavior, the lesions are ranging from inflammatory, benign hemangiomas to intermediate lesion, which are locally aggressive, to highly malignant angiosarcoma. There is also the grey zone between true neoplasia and hamartoma, which makes difficulty in histopathological assessment. It is also important to decide the degree of malignancy as it can strongly influence the choice of treatment and prognosis. Materials and Methods: 98 cases of vascular lesions at the department of pathology, Siddharda medical college, Vijayawada,for a period of three years(2014 -2016) have been studied retrospectivelyand histopathological features were analyzed. Results:A total of 98 vascular lesions were identified. Thsese were classified into inflammatory and neoplastic. The neoplastic tumors are subclassified into benign, intermediate and malignant according to WHO classification. The various vascular lesions identified were Leucocytoclastic vasculitis, Small vessel vasculitis, Granulomapyogenicum,Capillary hemangiomas, Cavernous hemangiomas,AV malformation, Sclerosing hemangiomas, Verrucous hemangioma, Intramuscular hemangioma, Hemangioblastoma, Angiokeratoma, Hemangioendothelioma, Epithelioidhemangioendotheliomama, Angiosarcoma,Epithelioid Angiosarcoma and Glomus tumor (Perivascular tumour). Majority of vascular tumors were benign, more common in children and young adults, most common sites were head and neck, which required only local surgical excision. Conclusion: Malignant and intermediate tumors formed as extremely small proportion of vascular tumors, which should be treated aggressively and closely followed up.
