to the most casual of observers. One can easily see the altered area of the
tissue with the many vascular channels filled with blood.
See this slide with the

Just look at this slide
on a white background, and you will have no trouble finding the area of abnormality.
The vessels have cavernous lumens, and walls that look like hybrids between
vein and artery. This hemangioma is benign and congenital. They can become
a problem by thrombosing, bleeding or becoming infected. Most of the time
they are quiet, and are incidental discoveries while surgery is going on
for some other condition. |
