What is Intravenous Tufted Angioma about?
A case of a rare vascular tumor, intravenous tufted angioma, is described. A 51‐year‐old Japanese man presented with a 12x8 mm solitary reddish nodule on the right foot, which had been found at birth. Histologically, the tumor was confined to a malformed vein and was characterized by nodular aggregates of plump cells. The aggregates showed a compact proliferation of round cells, including capillary‐forming cells. Venous angiomatous areas were also observed. No multinucleated giant cells were seen. Immunohistochemically, the capillary‐forming cells in the aggregates and the endothelial cells in the angiomatous areas were positive for endothelial markers (factor VIII‐related antigen, CD31, CD34). Pericyte‐like cells expressing α‐smooth muscle actin and muscle actin, and macrophage‐like cells, which stained for factor XIIIa, were intermingled in the cellular aggregates. Flow cytometric analysis showed diploidy. The tumor may be a hamartomatous lesion modified by secondary reactive changes, and it may represent a distinctive clinicopathological entity that is closely related histogenetically and perhaps pathologically to tufted angioma and the recently described “giant cell angioblasto
