Tufted Angioma

Tufted angioma is a benign (non-cancerous) vascular tumor and mild variant of Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE). On biopsy, a tumor may be called tufted angioma, KHE or “tufted angioma/KHE spectrum.” We feel these tumors are one and the same, but represent a spectrum of severity. Tumors with the pathology diagnosis of tufted angioma are less likely to have complications such as Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon or to need medical therapies, though there are exceptions. Please see the link to KHE for more information.
