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]
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare tumor, first characterized by Sharon Weiss and Franz Enzinger in 1982 [1] that both clinically and histologically is intermediate between angiosarcoma and hemangioma. However, a distinct, disease-defining genetic alteration recently described for EHE indicates that it is an entirely separate ...
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.
Vincristine, which requires central venous access for administration, is traditionally used as a chemotherapy agent, but has been demonstrated to have efficacy against hemangiomas and other childhood vascular tumors, such as kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and tufted angioma.
Differential diagnosis includes vascular malformation, angioma, pyogenic granuloma, angiosarcoma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and other more rare vascular tumors. Three forms of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia exist: the primary or pure form, the secondary or mixed form, and the extravascular form.

Proliferating Angioendotheliomatosis has historically been divided into two groups, (1) a reactive, involuting type and (2) a malignant, rapidly fatal type. [1]: 598 ...
