Tumors of the extremities include :
| 1. | Vascular
hamartosis – a malformation in which newly formed vessels proliferate. |
| 2. | Klippel-Weber-Trenaunay syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis. The |
| hemangiomas may vary in size and location. Some authors do not consider them to be true | |
| tumors, but rather suspect them to represent vascular malformations. | |
| 3. | Lymphangioma. A cavernous lymphangioma involves the lymphatic vessels and is related to |
| cystic hygroma, thus considered a malformation. | |
| 4. | Sarcoma – mainly rhabdomyosarcoma. This should be distinguished from infantile |
| myofibromatosis. |
