Spindle Cell Hemangioma (spindle + cell_hemangioma)
Selected AbstractsCutaneous composite hemangioendothelioma with satellitosis and lymph node metastasesJOURNAL OF CUTANEOUS PATHOLOGY, Issue 2 2008Luis Requena The term hemangioendothelioma has been used in recent years to name a heterogeneous group of vascular neoplasms, intermediate in both biological behavior and histopathologic appearance between benign tumors (hemangiomas) and frankly malignant tumors (angiosarcomas). Thus, within the spectrum of hemangioendothelioma have been successively included epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, spindle cell hemangioendothelioma, retiform hemangioendothelioma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, polymorphous hemagioendothelioma of the lymph nodes, papillary intralymphatic angioendothelioma (PILA) and composite hemangioendothelioma. The latter is a vascular neoplasm showing varying combinations of benign, low-grade malignant and malignant vascular components. We herein report a case of composite hemangioendothelioma showing a combination of retiform hemangioendothelioma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, spindle cell hemangioma and PILA. The neoplasm showed a more aggressive behavior than other reported cases of composite hemangioendothelioma and it developed satellitosis and metastases to the inguinal lymph nodes. Neoplastic cells expressed immunoreactivity for Prox-1, supporting a lymphatic line of differentiation.

We report a 35-year-old female patient with multiple, sudoriparous, subcutaneous nodules on the right foot, which showed typical histopathological findings of EAH, and vascular components of the tumor consisted of thin-walled dilated vascular spaces intermixed with spindle cells and some histiocytoid endothelial cells representing spindle cell hemangioma (SCH). To our knowledge, the co-existence of EAH with SCH is a novel finding and not yet described.

We report on a 53-year-old man who presented with a 15-year history of a progressively enlarging nodule on his lower lip. A dark-reddish, easy-bleeding nodule diagnosed as AVM was resected to reduce the volume and troublesome bleeding. Histologically, the nodule revealed that the proliferating cellular area was composed of endothelial cells and pericytes in addition to the area of dilated vessels. We speculated that the cell proliferation developed secondary to AVM. We also discuss the histological differential diagnosis of spindle cell hemangioma and pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma.
