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.

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (also known as: [1] "Epithelioid hemangioma," "Histiocytoid hemangioma," "Inflammatory angiomatous nodule," "Intravenous atypical vascular proliferation," "Papular angioplasia," "Inflammatory arteriovenous hemangioma," and "Pseudopyogenic granuloma") usually presents with pink to red-brown, dome-shaped, dermal papules or nodules of the head or neck ...
Characteristic 2D ultrasound appearance is that of a very well defined lesion, with sizes of 2–3 cm or less, showing increased echogenity and, when located in contact with the diaphragm, a "mirror image" phenomenon can be seen. When palpating the liver with the transducer the hemangioma is compressible sending reverberations backwards.
The word "benign" means "favourable, kind, fortunate, salutary, propitious". [1] However, a benign tumour is not benign in the usual sense; the name merely specifies that it is not "malignant", i.e. cancerous. While benign tumours usually do not pose a serious health risk, they can be harmful or fatal. [2]
M8140/1 Atypical adenoma Bronchial adenoma, NOS (C34._) M8140/2 Adenocarcinoma in situ, NOS Adenocarcinoma, NOS; M8140/6 Adenocarcinoma, metastatic, NOS; M8141/3 Scirrhous adenocarcinoma Scirrhous carcinoma; Carcinoma with productive fibrosis Linitis plastica (C16._) M8143/3 Superficial spreading adenocarcinoma
Although usually straightforward to carry out, recurrence of the tumor or more tumors at a different site develop in approximately 20% of patients. [1] Gamma Knife Radiosurgery as well as LINAC have also been employed to successfully treat recurrence and control tumor growth of cerebellar hemangioblastomas.
G (1–4): the grade of the cancer cells (i.e. they are "low grade" if they appear similar to normal cells, and "high grade" if they appear poorly differentiated) S (0–3): elevation of serum tumor markers; R (0–2): the completeness of the operation (resection-boundaries free of cancer cells or not) Pn (0–1): invasion into adjunct nerves
A cavernous liver hemangioma or hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor of the liver composed of large vascular spaces lined by monolayer hepatic endothelial cells. It is the most common benign liver tumour, and is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on radiological imaging or during laparotomy for other intra-abdominal issues.
