- Abstract
Introduction: Vascular Neoplasms are divided into benign, intermediate and malignant subtypes according to WHO classification. The majority of vascular tumors are of benign nature. The aim of this study is to observe the histopathological pattern of tumors and tumor like conditions of blood vessels and lymphatics. Material and methods: An observational study was done over a period of one and half years (Jan 2017 to June 2018) at the Histopathology Department of AMC MET Medical College, L.G. Hospital, Maninagar, Ahmedabad which is a tertiary care hospital of East Ahmedabad. There were 75 histopathological cases of vascular tumors & tumor like conditions. Results: Out of 75 cases, 63 were benign, 2 were malignant and 10 were arteriovenous (AV) malformation. The majority of tumors were located in Head & Neck region (n=48), followed by 13 in Trunk region & 14 in extremities. There were 28 cases of pyogenic granuloma, 18 cases of capillary hemangioma, 9 cases of cavernous hemangioma, 1 case of lymphangioma, 2 cases of epithelioid hemangioma, 5 cases of cystic hygroma, 2 cases of angiosarcoma and 10 cases of AV malformation. Majority of the patients were males. Conclusion: Benign lesions were the most common variety amongst tumors and tumor like conditions of blood vessels and lymphatics. Among the benign vascular tumors, Granuloma Pyogenicum was the commonest followed by capillary hemangioma. Histological diagnosis of AV malformation helps in proper management of the condition.
