Intravascular Capillary Hemangioma of the Skin

Abstract

Capillary hemangiomas are very common benign vascular neoplasms which frequently occur in the skin and intraoral mucous membranes. The intravascular variant of this lesion, however, is distinctly uncommon and has been reported rarely in the English literature. Those reported cases describe this tumor as arising in veins in cutaneous and extracutaneous sites. Here we report two cases of intravascular capillary hemangioma arising in the skin.
