CAVERNOUS HAEMANGIOMA.
- Cavernous haemangiomas are single or multiple, discrete or diffuse, red to blue, soft and spongy masses.
- They are often 1 to 2 cm in diameter.
- They are most common in the skin (especially of the face and neck); other sites are mucosa of the oral cavity, stomach and small intestine, and internal visceral organs like the liver and spleen.
- Histologically, cavernous haemangiomas are composed of thin-walled cavernous vascular spaces, filled partly or completely with blood.
- The vascular spaces are lined by flattened endothelial cells.
- They are separated by scanty connective tissue stroma .
- Cavernous haemangiomas rarely involute spontaneously.
