Acquired Vascular Tumors of the Head and Neck

Mark Persky et al. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 2018 Feb.

Abstract

Vascular neoplasms of the head and neck present with a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and is usually made after tumors are large enough to be visually apparent or cause symptoms. This article discusses the most common acquired benign and malignant vascular tumors, with an emphasis on their evaluation and treatment.
