Glomeruloid Hemangioma at Scanning Magnification Scanning magnification view of a glomeruloid hemangioma shows small clusters of vessels in the mid to deep dermis .
Glomeruloid Hemangioma at Higher Magnification Higher magnification shows the grape-like pattern of clustered small vessels, mimicking renal glomeruli.
Glomeruloid Hemangioma With Grape-Like Vascular Clusters High-power view of a glomeruloid hemangioma shows small, grape-like clusters of vessels projecting into vascular lumina (with peripheral crescentic spaces present).
Glomeruloid Hemangioma at High Magnification High magnification of the vessels in a glomeruloid hemangioma shows endothelial cells with oval to spindle-shaped nuclei. Cytoplasmic eosinophilic globules are present focally . A few intraluminal eosinophils are also present .
