Cavernous hemangioma 10x

Low power view of a cavernous hemangioma
Notice the large thin-walled blood vessels at the tips of the arrows.
One can distinguish that these are blood vessels because they contain red blood cells within them.
Note that the entire field is filled with these blood vessels.
This is the typical appearance of a hemangioma.
This particular lesion is called cavernous, since the blood vessels that comprise the lesion are larger in size than capillaries.
