Racemose angioma

Racemotic angioma (Latin angio - vessel, Greek -oma - tumor) is a rare congenital angiomatous tumor, or dysplasia of the vascular wall, in which a relatively small part of the face, head or neck is converted into tumor tissue and bone marrow. Angiomas of this type are often localized in the posterior part of the lower jaw. They occur in preschool children and grow slowly, so these tumors can only be detected several years later. In boys, angiomas appear three times more often. Among the general risk factors for the development of angiomas, one should also note a large capacity of venous outflow, atherosclerosis and pathology of the vessels of the pulmonary circulation.
