I don't know if dermal hemangio can be vaccine related. I've heard it could be sun related on white haired dogs but i'm not sure. I don't recall what types of cancer we removed from the skin besides mast cell. There were plenty of giant tumors on and under the skin that were quite nasty but i don't remember what kind they were.

Before chemo was done did the vet suggest removing the limb? sometimes with dermal hemangio the mass will come back after removal even with chemo. So the best course of action in some cases is amputation (limbs only obviously) and then chemo.
not sure if he recommended limb removal

He removed it once then it came back as her groomer felt it under skin. Then they did the chemo not sure if he removed a second time though.

It was in the exact spot the rabies was given I believe
