Cutaneous and hepatic vascular lesions due to a recurrent somatic GJA4 mutation reveal a pathway for vascular malformation

Abstract excerpt

The term “cavernous hemangioma” has been used to describe vascular anomalies with histology featuring dilated vascular spaces, vessel walls consisting mainly of fibrous stromal bands lined by a layer of flattened endothelial cells, and an irregular outer rim of interrupted smooth muscle cells. Hepatic hemangiomas (HHs) and cutaneous venous malformations (VMs) share this histologic pattern, and we examined lesions...
