Vascular proliferations in the skin have been thoroughly studied over the past 35 years, and a great deal of knowledge has been accrued regarding their pathobiological features. Dr. Juan Rosai has been a consistent contributor to the literature on this topic throughout most of his career, and this article reviews selected cutaneous endothelial lesions that he helped to characterize. They include histiocytoid-epithelioid hemangioma, targetoid-hobnail hemangioma, acquired tufted hemangioma, glomeruloid hemangioma, spindle cell hemangioma, retiform hemangioendothelioma, and angiosarcoma. Two potential simulants of angiosarcoma—papillary intravascular endothelial hyperplasia and cutaneous rudimentary meningocele-meningothelial hamartoma—are also considered.
