24. A 4 year old child is evaluated for a large lesion occupying most of one thigh. The lesion has a purplish hue and poorly defined margins. It is slightly raised over most of tis surface, with focal areas of nodularity, some of which have a roughened skin surface. The mother does not know exactly when the lesion first appeared, but says it has been slowly darkening for about 2 years. Most likely diagnosis:
A. Capillary hemangioma
B. Cavernous hemangioma
C. Dermatofibroma
D. Keloid
E. Nevus Flammeus

Are you sure it's B?
"Cavernous hemangiomas are the most common intraorbital tumors found in adults. These benign, vascular lesions are slow growing and can manifest as a painless, progressively proptotic eye"
