(D18) Haemangioma and lymphangioma, any site

Haemangioma and lymphangioma are benign vascular tumours that arise from the proliferation of endothelial cells. they can occur anywhere in the body, but are most commonly found in the skin and soft tissues, as well as in the liver, spleen, and other organs. they are usually asymptomatic, but may cause pain or discomfort if they press on adjacent organs.

Haemangiomas and lymphangiomas are benign tumours that are caused by an abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells that line the walls of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, respectively. this proliferation is thought to be caused by an aberrant growth factor signalling pathway, resulting in the formation of an abnormal collection of blood or lymphatic vessels. in some cases, genetic mutations may be involved in the development of these tumours.
