Pediatric Vascular Anomalies
Dr Sami Billal MBBS,MSc,MD, PhD
There are two major groups of vascular anomalies
-
1- Vascular tumors - neoplasms of a particular type of blood vessel or other vascular tissue
- Tumors will proliferate and some never stop without therapy
-
2- Vascular malformations - A lesion of abnormal blood vessels that does not have rapid proliferation
- Malformations are static or very slow growing
Vascular tumors
- Infantile hemangioma (IH)
- Pyogenic granuloma
- Congenital hemangioma
- Tufted angioma
- Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma
- Angiosarcoma
Vascular malformations
- Capillary malformations (CM)
- Port-wine Stain - Cutaneous or mucosal CM (“Port-wine” stain)
- Nevus simplex (“salmon patch”)
- Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC)
- Lymphatic malformations
- Venous malformations
- Arterial malformations
- Arteriovenous malformations
- Combined malformations
