PY - 2009 T2 - Peripheral Arterial Disease AB - Peripheral vascular tumors are rare, yet some physicians encounter patients with these tumors regularly and most physicians encounter them at least several times in the course of their practice. The clinical significance of vascular tumors ranges from trivial to cosmetically and psychosocially burdensome to life threatening. Some have characteristic clinical manifestations while many are found incidentally but have characteristic imaging findings. However, rare lesions and variable clinical presentations can result in delayed or misdiagnosis. This chapter will provide an overview of primary vascular tumors, emphasizing those affecting arteries and capillaries.
