Vascular transformation of sinuses (VTS) is a rare and reactive vasoproliferative disorder infrequently affecting the cervical lymph nodes. It is characterized by effacement of nodal architecture by variable expansion of the subcapsular, intermediate, and medullary sinuses. We report a very rare and unique case of VTS in bilateral cervical lymph nodes along with angiolipomatous hamartoma in a postoperative patient of squamous cell carcinoma of buccal mucosa clinically masquerading as tumor recurrence. To the best of our knowledge, only 15 cases of VTS have been reported in cervical lymph nodes till date and associated angiolipomatous or angiomyomatous hamartoma-like area was noted only in two cases of cervical lymph node VTS.
窦血管转化（VTS）是一种罕见的反应性血管增生性疾病，很少累及颈部淋巴结。其特征是被膜下、中间和髓窦不同程度扩张，导致淋巴结结构消失。我们报告了一例非常罕见且独特的双侧颈部淋巴结VTS病例，同时在一名颊黏膜鳞状细胞癌术后患者中发现了血管脂肪瘤样错构瘤，临床上伪装为肿瘤复发。据我们所知，迄今为止，仅有15例颈部淋巴结VTS病例被报道，且仅在2例颈部淋巴结VTS病例中发现了相关的血管脂肪瘤样或血管肌瘤样错构瘤区域。
