•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.
•Note the numerous vascular spaces, containing red blood
cells, that are separated from each other by a thin layer
of collagenous tissue and an endothelial covering.
