  • Title: [Giant vascular tumour in an adult: tufted angioma or kaposiform hemangioendothelioma].
    Author: Bienaimé A, Rojat-Habib MC, Hesse S, Pelissier JF, Bonerandi JJ.
    Journal: Ann Dermatol Venereol; 2006; 133(6-7):553-6. PubMed ID: 16885843.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Tufted angioma and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma are two rare benign but aggressive vascular tumours that occur mainly in children. OBSERVATION: A 72 year-old man consulted for a 50 cm wide vascular tumour of the right shoulder which was increasing for 10 years. On histological examination there were features of tufted angioma and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. DISCUSSION: The tumour of this patient was atypical because of its big size never described before. The histological association of aspects which could correspond to tufted angioma and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma seems to confirm recent publications which support the hypothesis that these two tumours are two evolutive stages of one and only entity.
