Table 6. Distinguishing EH from an arthropod bite response and cutaneous epithelioid angiomatous nodules.
Epithelioid hemangioma | Arthropod bite | Cutaneous epithelioid angiomatous nodules | |
Extent of capillary proliferation | Marked capillary proliferation [59-63]. | Subtle capillary proliferation [59-63]. | Sheet-like proliferation of endothelial cells in skin [63]. |
Growth pattern | Lobular growth pattern with numerous epithelioid endothelial cells [59-63]. | No lobular orientation and relatively few endothelial cells [59-63]. | No multilobular growth pattern as seen in EH [63]. |
