In concordance with this, we have recently demonstrated that there is a striking difference in the expression of decorin between malignant and benign vascular tumors in human, i.e., within Kaposi’s sarcoma, and angiosarcoma, decorin expression is completely lacking; while within hemangiomas, decorin is expressed in abundant amounts (Salomäki et al. 2008). Here, DCN is linked to hemangioma.
