Relating to or resembling an angioma; characterized by the presence of vascular tumors or abnormal blood vessel tissue.
From 'angioma' + '-ous' (full of, characterized by). This adjectival form allows doctors to describe tissues and conditions showing angioma characteristics.
When radiologists spot 'angiomatous' tissue on imaging, they're saying the area shows the growth pattern and appearance of blood vessel tumors—but the term itself doesn't always mean it's dangerous, since many angiomas are harmless.
