telangioma

Definition of telangioma

tel-angi--oma - tumor made up of dilated capillaries; Telangioma can be understood as a subtype of hemangioma in which the predominant change is abnormal dilation (ectasia) of end‑vessels rather than proliferation of large vascular channels. These lesions correspond histologically to clusters of dilated superficial vessels and clinically may resemble spider veins or focal telangiectatic macules. They are usually benign but, depending on size and location, may bleed or be cosmetically bothersome, similar to other telangiectatic lesions.

Etymology of telangioma

latin “Telangioma” breaks down as tel‑/telo‑ (“end,” referring to terminal vessels) + angio‑ (“vessel”) + ‑oma (“tumor” or “swelling”). This parallels the related term telangiectasia, which comes from tel‑ “end” + angio‑ “vessel” + ectasia “dilation,” and denotes dilated end vessels visible on skin or mucosa.
