Sumario:To evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of gastrointestinal vascular tumours. By reviewing the information from the electronic medical record system and pathology database of Hangzhou First People's Hospital affiliated with Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Jiaxing First People’s Hospital from June 2008 to December 2019, 31 patients pathologically diagnosed with vascular tumours were included in this study. The age of onset, sex differences, clinical manifestations, imaging and endoscopic characteristic manifestations, pathological characteristics, treatment methods and prognosis were analysed. The pathological classification was haemangiolymphangioma, haemangioma, and lymphangioma in 8, 14, and 9 cases, respectively. The age of onset was 44–66 years, with no significant difference according to sex (P = 0.583); 32.26% (10/31) of patients had no noticeable symptoms, 37.5% (12/31) of patients had gastrointestinal bleeding, and 6.45% (2/31) of patients, all with lymphangioma, had intestinal obstruction. The lesions were located in and below the duodenum. Endoscopy showed colour differences. Both endoscopic and surgical treatments were safe and effective. The mean survival time was 57.06 ± 35.64 months. Regarding vascular tumours without typical symptoms, the main pathological classification is haemangioma. Vascular tumours are often clinically identified because of bleeding or obstruction and can be treated with endoscopy or surgery. Clinical follow-up is recommended because no invasive manifestations or instances of recurrence were observed.
