Intranodal hemangioma as a differential diagnosis of melanoma metastasis: A case report of a rare entity.

The identification of intranodal haemangiomas is important to avoid misdiagnosis as malignant vascular tumours, such as Kaposi’s sarcoma or angiosarcoma, which are more common in lymph nodes. Since Kaposi’s sarcoma can initially occur in lymph nodes, without the cutaneous involvement, this distinction requires special emphasis. Moreover, intranodal haemangiomas can also be suspected as secondary neoplasms, especially in patients with high-risk malignancies just like our patient was, so it is of great importance to think about intranodal haemangioma as a rare differential diagnosis of a lymphogenic metastasis.
