A vascular tissue neoplasm is a tumor arising from endothelial cells,[1] the cells that line the wall of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, as well as the heart.[2] They can occur everywhere in the body where vessels are to be found.
Classification
Vascular tissue neoplasms is a group containing tumors with the same tissue origin; in other words, it denotes histologic classification, rather than anatomic (i.e. where in the body the neoplasm is found) or clinical one.
Vasular tissue neoplasms, like neoplasms of all tissues, are classified to benign and malignant ones, according to their biological behavior. type of vessels they are related to: blood vessels, lymphatics, or both. Further classification depends on their microscopic features, including presence or absence of characteristics of malignancy, and the clinical syndromes they produce.
