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.
