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
