Classification and external resources
ICD-O: M9136/1

Spindle-cell hemangioendothelioma (now known as "Spindle cell hemangioma"[1]) is a vascular tumor that was first described in 1986 by Sharon Weiss, M.D.[2], and commonly presents in a child or young adult who develops blue nodules of firm consistency on a distal extremity.[3] These tumors were reclassified by Dr. Weiss in 1996 as "spindle cell hemangioma", rather than hemangioendothelioma, due to the excellent prognosis observed in a group of 78 patients.[4]
