Abstract
Vascular neoplasms arise from either blood or lymphatic vessels; in the larynx, neoplasms derived from lymphatic vessels only have not been described. Neoplasms of blood vessels may be either benign (i.e. haemangioma) or malignant (i.e. haemangiosarcoma). Two types of tumour in which blood vessels make up part of the neoplastic element—haemangiopericytoma and Kaposi’s sarcoma—will also be considered in this chapter.
