description Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) refers to the ability of malignant cells to form microvascular channels, having nature of blood vessels but are not endothelium lined. These channels contain blood cells & plasma and provide sufficient nutrient supply to the cancerous cells to meet their metabolic demands. VM can be seen in various tumors and is associated with their malignant phenotype, high tumor grade, invasion, metastasis and poor clinical outcome. In this paper, we made an attempt to explain the mechanism, visualisation and prognostic significance of vasculogenic mimicry.
