  • less frequent than capillary hemangioma
  • vascular malformation
  • location: usually upper half of the body
  • larger and deeper than capillary hemangiomas, sometimes very large
  • usually no regression, surgery required
  • bluish color, uneven surface
  • dystrophic calcifications, phleboliths (x-ray), thrombi
  • deep forms affect internal organs
  • Maffucci's syndrome: dyschondroplasia, bone deformities, widespread hemangiomas of various types; blood vessel and bone malignities (spindle cell hemangioendothelioma)
