Vascular Lesions Flashcards
Congenital vascular lesions
Lymphangioma and hemangioma
Neoplasm vascular lesion
Angiosarcoma and kaposi sarcoma
Benign vascular lesion composed of a localized collection of dilated lymphatic channels
Lymphangioma
Presents as painless, nodular, vesicle like swellings when superficial or as submucosal masses when located deeper
Diagnosed within the first two decades of life
Lymphangioma
Location of intraoral lymphangioma
And extraoral lymphangioma
Tongue most common
Palate, buccal mucosa gingiva and lips
Skin and subcutaneous tissues
Lymphangioma of the lip may cause a ____
Macrocheilia (permanent swelling of the lip)
A diffuse soft tissue swelling that may be life threatening because it involves vital structures of the neck
Lymphangioma of the neck
Aka
Cystic hygroma, hygroma colli or cavernoius lymphangioma
Histopathological feature
Variably sized, irregular, this walled fluid - filled spaces are lined by lymphatic epithelium ad surrounded by a stroma of fibrous, smooth muscle and adipose tissue along with lymphocytes
Lymphangioma
Histopathological feature of lymphagioma
Variably sized, irregular, this walled fluid - filled spaces are lined by lymphatic epithelium ad surrounded by a stroma of fibrous, smooth muscle and adipose tissue along with lymphocytes
IHC profile of lymphangioma
D2-40 (podoplanin, transmembrane mucoprotein)
CD31, SMA on walls of lymphatic vessels
Treatment for lymphangiooma
Surgical excision
Recurrence are common die to its non-encapsulated nature
Pwede pd sclerotherapy
Etiology of kaposi sarcoma
Human herpersivrus 8
The lesion consists of an unencapsulated proliferation of anaplastic endothelial cells enclosing irregular luminal spaces
Angiosarcoma
Benign vasular lesion/ tumor
Abnormal endothelial cell proliferation
Hemangioma
Subtype of hemangioma:
Proliferation of capillaries with plump endothelial cells in a fibromyxoid stroma, arranged in lobules
Lobullar capillary hemangioma
Subtype of hemangioma
Multiple, large cystic, thin-walled, blood filled spaces lined by endothelial cells and separated by scant connective tissue stroma
Cavernous hemangioma
