The Endothelial Metamorphoses-Spindle Cell Haemangioma

Abstract

Weiss and Enzinger described a contemporary vascular tumour formerly denominated as “spindle cell haemangioendothelioma†in 1986, a neoplasm which was considered to represent an unusual variety of low-grade angiosarcoma. However, as the terminology was suggestive of malignant potential, the neoplasm was subsequently designated as a “spindle cell haemangioma†[1].
