“…9,10,39 The giant cells expressed factor VIII-related antigen, a marker of endothelial cells, and had ultrastructural features of endothelial cells. 10,11 Giant cells with vacuoles are also seen in human epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, 40 in some hemangiosarcomas, 30 and in the early stage of angiogenesis in chicken embryos, where they are said to represent single-cell angiogenesis. 7 In the present study, many of the giant cell vacuoles contained erythrocytes.…”

Cardiac Angioleiomyoma in 44 Cattle in Japan (1982–2009)

A retrospective study was performed on primary cardiac tumors found in 44 cattle during meat inspection in Japan, using histology, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy. The age of affected cattle ranged from 10 to 129 months; 82% were less than 3 years old. In 38 hearts, the tumor was solitary; the remaining 6 hearts had multiple masses. All tumors were subendocardial and involved the papillary muscles and/or cardiac valves. Two histologic patterns were recognized; both included giant cells. Pattern 1 was characterized by interlacing fascicles of spindle-shaped cells; pattern 2 resembled cavernous hemangioma. The 2 patterns coexisted and were linked by transitional zones. Given the immunohistochemical reactivity and ultrastructure, the spindle-shaped cells were identified as smooth muscle cells and the giant cells as endothelial cells. Single cell and multicellular angiogenesis by giant cells was observed. The tumors were classified as cardiac angioleiomyoma. Subendocardial multipotential mesenchymal cells, persistent tissue of the endocardial cushion, or valvular interstitial cells were suspected as the origin.
