Study Notes
Classification of Tumors
-
Vascular Tumors
- Tumor-like conditions: vascular ectasias, bacillary angiomatosis
- Benign tumors: hemangioma, hemangioblastoma, lymphangioma, glomus tumors
- Intermediate malignancy: Kaposi sarcoma
- Malignant tumors: hemangiosarcoma, lymphangiosarcoma
-
Cardiac Tumors
- Benign tumors: cardiac myxoma, rhabdomyoma
- Malignant tumors: sarcomas, metastatic tumors
Tumor-like Vascular Conditions
-
Vascular Ectasia
- Dilation of existing blood vessels; not a neoplasm
- Types include telangiectasia (includes spider telangiectasia) and nevus flammeus
- Generalized hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-Weber-Rendu disease)
-
Telangiectasia
- Characterized by small blood vessel dilation in skin or mucosal areas
- Spider telangiectasia presents as a radial array of dilated subcutaneous vessels; often associated with liver issues or pregnancy
-
Nevus Flammeus
- Congenital capillary malformation; common birthmark seen in up to 50% of newborns
- Variants include "stork bite" (on nape) and "angel kiss" (on face), usually regresses, while port-wine stain persists
-
Bacillary Angiomatosis
- Focal vascular proliferation due to Bartonella infection
- Most commonly affects skin, bone, and brain, primarily in immunocompromised hosts
- Treatment involves antibiotics
Benign Vascular Tumors
-
Hemangioma
- Most common vascular tumor; can occur at any age
- Classified into capillary (juvenile, often regresses) and cavernous types, with pyogenic granuloma as an inflamed version
Vascular Tumors of Intermediate Malignancy
-
Kaposi Sarcoma (KS)
- Originates from lymphatic endothelium; presents with skin lesions that can invade and metastasize
- Four variants: chronic (European), lymphadenopathic (African), transplant-associated, and AIDS-associated; incidence declines with antiretroviral treatment
- Histology shows pleomorphic spindle-shaped cells and small blood vessels
Benign Cardiac Tumors
-
Cardiac Myxoma
- Most common primary cardiac tumor in adults; can present with systemic inflammatory symptoms due to IL-6 production
- Complications include obstruction of heart valves and risk of systemic embolization
-
Cardiac Rhabdomyoma
- Most prevalent cardiac tumor in childhood, often associated with tuberous sclerosis
- Multiple tumors may be present, located typically in the ventricular wall, characterized by large glycogen-laden "spider cells"
Summary of Key Tumor Presentations
- Spider telangiectasia: dilation from liver disease or pregnancy
- Port-wine stain: persistent congenital vascular malformation
- Bacillary angiomatosis: opportunistic infection linked to Bartonella
- Hemangioma: common benign vascular tumor in skin and visceral organs
- Kaposi sarcoma: HIV and immunosuppression-related vascular malignancy
- Cardiac rhabdomyoma: associated with genetic predisposition and regresses spontaneously
- Cardiac myxoma: significant complications, often requiring surgical intervention
