Primary and metastatic vascular neoplasms: imaging findings

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2012 Mar;198(3):700-4. doi: 10.2214/AJR.11.6661.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the imaging findings of vascular tumors.

Conclusion: Tumors of the vasculature are a pervasive disease entity consisting of both primary and metastatic lesions. Cross-sectional imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and delineation of the extent of this entity. Recognition of the characteristic imaging presentation of each tumor at CT and MRI can facilitate prompt diagnosis and accurate staging.
