AB Vascular  tumors  comprise  a  small  percentage  of  tumors  in  children  and  adults.  Classifying  these  tumors  can  be  difficult  because  of  the  rarity  of  these  lesions  and  their  diverse  morphologic  appearance  and  clinical  behavior.  In  the  pediatric  population,  these  tumors  are  not  independently  stratified,  leading  to  further  problems  with  diagnosis.  The  most  common  vascular  tumors  (hemangiomas)  are  benign  and  have  a  diverse  spectrum  of  clinical  phenotypes.  Similarly,  the  rarer  vascular  tumors  can  be  benign  or  malignant  with  some  overlap  adding  to  diagnostic  and  treatment  dilemmas  (Table  462-1).
