“…A mutation in the PIK3Ca/mTOR pathway is more often involved in various VMs. CD10 and CD34 are cellular markers that may play a role in mesenchymal differentiation and proliferation [15]. The first treatment to inhibit this pathway with sirolimus indicated that molecular treatment can be effective against VMs.…”

Glut 1, S-100, and Nerve Bundle Study in Vascular Anomalies

et al. 2021

Vascular anomalies grouped into vascular tumors (hemangioma) (HI) and vascular malformation (VM) are benign vascular lesions that are difficult to distinguish from one another clinically and often confused with each other at histopathology. This confusing terminology leads to improper diagnosis, illogical treatment, and misdirected research. This study aimed to study GLUT 1, S-100, and nerve bundle to differentiate hemangioma and vascular malformation. Thirty two cases of vascular lesions (26 vascular malformations and 6 hemangiomas) were taken into the study. For histological evaluation and immunohistochemistry (IHC), samples of vascular lesions were collected in formalin. All the hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides were evaluated under light microscope for histology and nerve bundles. Immunohistochemical staining was performed by streptavidin–biotin method for GLUT 1 and S-100. GLUT 1 was positive in all 6 cases of hemangiomas (100%) and only in 1 case of vascular malformation. Nerve bundle was present in 24 cases of vascular malformation (92.3%) out of 26 cases but not in any cases of hemangioma and S-100 was found positive in all vascular malformation cases (100%) but not in hemangioma. So GLUT 1 expression, S-100, and presence of nerve bundle in vascular lesions can help to differentiate hemangioma and vascular malformation.
