Depending on the grade of the sarcoma, it is treated with surgery, [8] chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy.Though surgery is the current standard of care for hemangiopericytomas, metastasis and tumor recurrence occur in more than 30% of patients, in particular recurrence in the pelvis and retroperitoneum [3] and metastasis in bone and lungs.

A tufted angioma, also known as an acquired tufted angioma, angioblastoma, angioblastoma of Nakagawa, hypertrophic hemangioma, progressive capillary hemangioma, and tufted hemangioma [1] [2] usually develops in infancy or early childhood on the neck and upper trunk, and is an ill-defined, dull red macule with a mottled appearance, varying from 2 to 5 cm in diameter.
Congenital hemangiomas are present and fully formed at birth, [5] and only account for 2% of the hemangiomas. They do not have the postnatal phase of proliferation common to infantile hemangiomas. [6] There are two main variants of congenital hemangioma: non-involuting, and rapidly involuting (beginning in the first year of life). [6]
A hemangioma or haemangioma is a usually benign vascular tumor derived from blood vessel cell types. The most common form, seen in infants, is an infantile hemangioma , known colloquially as a "strawberry mark", most commonly presenting on the skin at birth or in the first weeks of life.
There are a lot of different blood vessel tumors. This is just a quick overview of three tumors: Kaposi sarcoma, hemangioma, and angiosarcoma. Kaposi sarcoma Kaposi sarcoma is a malignant vascular tumor that is linked with an infection of the human herpesvirus 8 (otherwise known as HHV-8). It is a cancer of the blood vessel endothelial cells.
Lymphohemangioma is a disease characterized by swelling of the lymph nodes and blood vessels.It is variously described as a "mixture of clear fluid and blood-filled cysts", [citation needed] a mass of abnormal swollen veins and lymph nodes, or a tumorous growth of lymph and blood vessels.
Microvenular hemangioma is an acquired benign vascular tumor that presents as an asymptomatic, slowly growing, 0.5- to 2.0 cm reddish lesion on the forearms or other sites of young to middle-aged adults. [2] The cause of microvenular hemangioma is unknown, however it has been associated with immunosuppression.
Approximately 5% of adults have liver hemangiomas in the United States, but most are asymptomatic. [30] Liver hemangiomas usually occur between the ages of 30 and 50 and more commonly in women. [4] Cases of infantile liver cavernomas are extremely rare. Cavernous hemangioma of the eye is more prevalent in women than men and between the ages of ...
