Abstract
We present 12 cases of benign atypical vascular lesions of the lip wit h cytologic or architectural features that raised microscopically the possibility of angiosarcoma. The patterns encountered in these lesions , sometimes in combination, were the following: lobular capillary hema ngioma in five cases; intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia in five cases; epithelioid hemangioma in four cases; and acquired prog ressive lymphangioma in one case.
