Haemangiomas contain many small cavities called caverna, which are lined by endothelium and can be filled with blood. Rupture of haemangiomas, with resulting haemorrhage, is the most important clinical consequence of this type of tumor. | Haemangiomas contain many small cavities called caverna, which are lined by endothelium and can be filled with blood.
