Angioma
Definition
A benign tumorous formation or well-defined congenital malformation, developed through the abnormal proliferation and crowding of blood vessels (hemangioma) or lymphatic vessels (lymphangioma). Clinically manifested as red-purple patches or nodules on the skin, mucous membranes, or internal organs (frequently on the liver or brain), this structural element generally has a slow and non-invasive evolution but can associate bleeding risks in case of local mechanical trauma.
