“…A second but uncommon pattern is the clusters of capillary-sized vessels arranged in nodules around a large vessel in the center. Both types are typically associated with large amounts of adipose tissue and hence these lesions have lead previous authors to use the term ‘infiltrating angiolipoma’, suggesting that these are more generalized mesenchymal proliferations rather than exclusive vascular pathology [8]. Similar histopathologic features are seen in the present case reports.…”

Angiomatosis is a diffuse vascular lesion which involves a large segment of the body in a contiguous fashion involving multiple tissues (e.g. subcutis, muscle, bone, adipose tissue etc.) in different planes. Such lesions usually present in the first two decades of life with female predilection and are commonly seen in lower extremities. It clinically mimics hemangioma or vascular malformation and its surgical removal is difficult because of its infiltrative nature and thus has high recurrence rate (90%). Therefore a precise histopathological diagnosis of angiomatosis is important to achieve a curative resection. Histopathologically it consists of proliferating blood vessels of varying caliber, infiltrating into the soft tissues. Proliferating capillaries are seen within or adjacent to major vessels. Few cases are reported in head and neck region. This article highlights three unusual cases of angiomatosis reported as benign lesions, in rare sites such as the malar region (predominantly infiltrating the adipose tissue), within the masseter (predominantly infiltrating the muscle) and in the mandible (infiltrating the bone). Histopathological differential diagnosis is also discussed.

“…There are also infectious forms of angiomatosis associated with Bartonella and human immunodeficiency virus. 4 Angiomatosis can be confused clinically and radiographically with other vascular lesions, and as such it is the histopathologic diagnosis that reveals the true nature of the disease process. The tendency for recurrence requiring further surgery is >90%, with nearly 40% of patients experiencing more than one recurrence within 5 years.…”

Angiomatosis of the paranasal sinuses

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Angiomatosis is a rare benign lesion of the head and neck that can be mistaken for either a vascular malformation or malignant disease as a result of its infiltrative nature. The recurrence rate of angiomatosis requiring surgery is reported to be >90%, and as such the otolaryngologist treating this condition should endeavor to remove all disease during the first operation while maintaining a high level of suspicion for recurrence during postoperative surveillance. This case represents the first report of angiomatosis involving the nose and/or paranasal sinuses, and extends the differential diagnosis of sinonasal tumors, of which the otolaryngologist must be aware. A description of the surgical care and postoperative surveillance recommendations is detailed in this first reported case of angiomatosis of the paranasal sinuses.
