The histological diagnosis of endovascular papillary angioendothelioma (EPA) (Dabska tumor) is controversial although the tumor is included in the World Health Organization classification. Papillary endothelial proliferation with a central hyaline core is one of the most characteristic features of EPA; however, this type of proliferation has been observed in other vascular tumors, such as angiosarcoma, retiform hemangioendothelioma and glomeruloid hemangioma. Several vascular tumors have EPA-like foci and EPA is not well defined generally. Endovascular papillary angioendothelioma may not be a distinct entity and may well include a heterogeneous group of lesions.
血管内乳头状血管内皮瘤(EPA)(达布斯卡瘤)的组织学诊断存在争议,尽管该肿瘤已被列入世界卫生组织分类中。具有中央透明核心的乳头状内皮增生是EPA最具特征性的表现之一;然而,这种增生类型也见于其他血管肿瘤,如血管肉瘤、网状血管内皮瘤和肾小球样血管瘤。几种血管肿瘤有类似EPA的病灶,而且一般来说EPA的定义并不明确。血管内乳头状血管内皮瘤可能不是一个独立的实体,很可能包括一组异质性病变。
