Vascular tumors are commonly encountered in infants and children, the vast majority being infantile hemangiomas with less frequent congenital hemangiomas. Less commonly encountered vascular tumors are challenging due to their rarity. However, these often have distinguishing clinical, imaging, and histologic features which enable diagnosis and dictate management. The objective of this electronic exhibit is to present the clinical and imaging findings of vascular tumors encountered in a large children’s hospital over a 10-year period. These will be grouped according to the ISSVA benign, locally-aggressive, and malignant classification of vascular tumors. We will include unusual presentations of infantile and congenital hemangiomas, as well as the clinical features and imaging appearances of the less commonly encountered vascular tumors (tufted angioma, spindle cell hemangioma, pyogenic granuloma, epithelioid hemangioma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, and angiosarcoma). Treatment options and prognosis will also be discussed. Read More
