Title:An anastomosing haemangioma within a lymph node: a rare vascular tumour in a novel location

Author:Yee Sing Lin, Andrew Parasyn and Trent Davidson

Abstract:Anastomosing haemangioma is a rare, benign vascular tumour with a predilection for genitourinary and paravertebral sites, but which has been described in a number of other locations. We report a case of an anastomosing haemangioma in a lymph node presenting as a painful right axillary mass. Microscopic examination revealed a characteristic non-lobular proliferation of anastomosing, thin-walled capillaries, with focal endothelial hob-nailing, and the absence of significant cytologic atypia or mitotic activity.
Keywords: anastomosing haemangioma, lymph node.
