Tóm tắt

Light and electron microscopic studies were conducted on the immature vascular tumors of two infants, containing various stages of differentiation of the blood vessels and both benign haemangioendotheliomas and haemangiopericytomas. We were able to confirm the existance of two kinds of hyperplastic, immature cells i.e. endothelial cells and pericytes in the same tumor. Presence of crystalloid inclusions in the endothelial cells and absence of the Weibel-Palade bodies, as well as a deficiency in factor VIII-related antigen and no tissue fibrinolytic activity, suggested that the endothelial cells in these lesions were immature. Electron microscopic studies appear more decisive in the diagnosis of heterogenous cellular vascular tumors than light microscopy and if available should be used to aid in the final diagnosis. The authors propose that the term cellular haemangioma would be more appropriate in describing this vascular entity.
