Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (also known as "Infantile kaposiform hemangioendothelioma" [3]) is an uncommon vascular tumor, first described by Niedt, Greco, et al. (Hemangioma with Kaposi's sarcoma-like features: report of two cases.(Niedt GW, Greco MA, Wieczorek R, Blanc WA, Knowles DM 2nd. that affects infants and young children, with rare ...
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. Kaposiform hemangioendotheliomas (KHEs) are borderline, locally destructive vascular tumors. [4] They are named after their resemblance to the lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma. [13] KHEs are described as locally destructive because they can infiltrate underlying muscle and fat. [4]
An infantile hemangioma (IH), sometimes called a strawberry mark due to appearance, is a type of benign vascular tumor or anomaly that affects babies. [1] [2] Other names include capillary hemangioma, [6] "strawberry hemangioma", [7]: 593 strawberry birthmark [8] and strawberry nevus.
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm that is locally aggressive but without metastatic potential. It occurs particularly in the skin, deep soft tissue, retroperitoneum, mediastinum, and rarely in bone. Although lesions occur solitary, they often involve large areas of the body, such as the head/neck region (40% ...
Other pediatric tumors such tufted angioma, pyogenic granuloma, infantile hemangioma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, and angiosarcoma should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis. [8] [10]
It is separate and distinct from lymphangiectasis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. [4] Its unusual nature makes lymphangiomatosis (and Gorham’s disease) a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
The differential diagnosis for microvenular hemangioma includes acquired angioma, Kaposi sarcoma, Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, and sclerosing hemangioma. [ 13 ] Treatment
