This report presents a rare malignant endothelial neoplasm which arose at the site of a pre-existing lymphangioma. The lymphangioma was located on the right buccal mucosa, and the malignant neoplasm arose 17 years after irradiation of the initial tumor. Clinical, light microscopic and
An erythematous patch was noted on the abdominal wall of an 8-year-old boy. The lesion showed a prolonged initial clinical course, followed by rapid later growth, finally reaching 3.7 X 7.0 cm in size over four years. Despite the harmless clinical appearance, the lesion was histologically
A 76-year-old man complained of difficulty breathing. A solitary mass was found in the spleen by ultrasonography and the tumor was excised. Grossly, the tumor was 3.9 x 2.9 cm in size, solid and brownish in color. A stellate scar-like fibrosis was observed in the center of the tumor. Histologically,
We have studied eight cases of an acquired lymphatic endothelial lesion for which we propose the name "benign lymphangioendothelioma." The lesions developed as solitary, slowly extending, erythematous macules and plaques, usually occurring on the extremities or the shoulders in adolescents or
Markers for endothelial cells including Ulex europaeus 1 lectin, blood group A, B, and H, and the prostaglandin metabolite 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were evaluated in paraffin secretions from formalin-fixed benign and malignant vascular neoplasms using a variety of immunohistochemical techniques, and
We describe a 40-year-old white man with a red-brown, indurated plaque on the proximal aspect of his right thigh. The lesion had been present since birth, and the patient had a 20-year clinical history of recurrent cellulitis in the same area. The histopathologic features of the lesion included
A morphological and cytogenetic analysis of a multifocal angiosarcoma in a typical case of Stewart-Treves syndrome is reported. The morphological analysis indicated differentiation along both blood and lymph vessel endothelium lines. By light and electron microscopy there were areas with
We describe a vascular lesion with characteristic clinical and histologic features. The patients when first seen have a small, single, annular, targetoid-appearing lesion. Histologically it is a noncircumscribed vascular proliferation that may extend into the subcutaneous tissue. The earliest
The immunoreactivity of a new monoclonal antibody to endothelium. QBEND/10, in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections from a variety of vascular and lymphatic tumours is described and compared to that of two other endothelial markers, von Willebrand factor and Ulex europaeus agglutinin, type 1.
CD31 has recently been reported as a specific marker of endothelial differentiation among non-hematopoietic human neoplasms. In order to address this contention in particular regard to tumors of the skin and subcutis, the authors undertook a comparative study that surveyed 145 mesenchymal lesions.
We report the clinical and pathological features of nine distinctive, but relatively unknown, vascular tumors of infancy and childhood presenting as soft tissue masses often associated with locally aggressive disease, lymphangiomatosis and Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. The patients, four males and five
Angiosarcomas apparently derive from blood vessel endothelial cells; however, occasionally their histological features suggest mixed origin from blood and lymphatic endothelia. In the absence of specific positive markers for lymphatic endothelia the precise distinction between these components has
