Vascular anomalies

Vascular anomalies is an evolving field that

incorporates surgical and medical specialties.

Because these disorders usually involve the skin,

the initial consultation is therefore often with a
plastic surgeon.

Vascular anomalies are divided into tumour or

malformations.

Vascular tumours are endothelial neoplasms

characterized by increased endothelial turnover.
Infantile hemangioma is the most common.

Other examples of vascular tumours are

congenital hemangioma,

hemangioendothelioma, pyogenic granuloma

and angiosarcoma.

Vascular malformations are the result of
abnormal development of vascular elements

during embryogenesis. They are classified

according to the predominant channel type.

These include capillary malformation, lymphatic

malformation, venous malformation, and

arteriovenous malformation.
