✦ Synopsis

Background. Vascular transformation of sinuses (VTS) in lymph node has been infrequently reported. We present a case of incidental VTS in bilateral cervical nodes discovered at the time of operation for tongue cancer.

Methods. Standard histopathologic review was undertaken.

Results. In this case, a spectrum of varied vasoformative patterns involving lymph nodes in either a pan-nodal or localized fashion were identified. The hilum was occupied by smooth muscle proliferation and adipose tissue. Two nodes also displayed similar features of angiolipomatous hamartoma. No metastatic carcinoma was found in lymph nodes with VTS.

Conclusions. This case suggests that lymphovenous congestion and distention represented the major cause through which VTS developed.

Power Doppler sonography was used to evaluate 105 benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes in 60 patients. Three main vascular patterns were identified: type I (single vascular pole), type II (hypertrophic vascular pole), and type III (mainly peripheral vascularity). The first one was related to ch

Although survival correlates with the size of the primary tumor, it may also be explained by the higher incidence
