When these tumors are large or are growing rapidly, sometimes they can trap platelets, causing severe thrombocytopenia. The combination of vascular tumor and consumptive thrombocytopenia defines Kasabach–Merritt syndrome. Tumors can be found in the trunk, upper and lower extremities, retroperitoneum, and in the cervical and facial areas. [2]

Vascular tumors are usually the result of blood vessel endothelial cell growth, and can be benign or malignant, and often manifest as lesions on the skin. This video covers three types of vascular tumors—Kaposi sarcoma, hemangioma (including cavernous hemangiomas, capillary hemangiomas, and pyogenic granulomas), and angiosarcoma.
Tufted angioma is defined as a single tumor in the skin of the neck, upper trunk, or extremities that appears erythematous, macula, or plaque-like.
