  • Title: Lobular capillary haemangiomas in young horses.
    Author: Vos JH, van der Gaag I, van Dijk JE, Wouda W.
    Journal: J Comp Pathol; 1986 Nov; 96(6):637-44. PubMed ID: 3819044.
    Abstract:
    Seven cases of cutaneous haemangiomas in young horses are described, characterized by scattered, well demarcated but unencapsulated lobules, consisting of capillary sized vascular structures, separated by strands of fibrous tissue. In one case, a more cellular variant was distinguished with minor vasoformative capacity. The morphological features of these haemangiomas are compatible with bovine cutaneous angiomatosis and human granuloma pyogenicum. The lesions are considered to be vascular tumours rather than hamartomas or granulation tissue and "lobular capillary haemangioma" is suggested to designate this type of haemangioma. In one tumour, cavernous vascular structures were also present in addition to the capillary structures and so this tumour is considered to be a combined capillary and cavernous haemangioma.
