“…Patients may present with complaints of pain and swelling and this is usually related to clot formation either from trauma or venous stasis (Mavrikakis et al , 2009). Frequently, patients will have their malformations misdiagnosed as hemangiomas (MacFie and Jeffery, 2008; Bruder et al , 2009; Lee et al , 2009b). This misdiagnosis not only delays treatment because they are told the lesions will regress, but it can result in inappropriate therapy such as interferon, which can have devastating irreversible side‐effects.…”

Diagnosis and management of hemangiomas and vascular malformations of the head and neck

Vascular anomalies are congenital errors in vascular development. They frequently involve the head, neck, and oral cavity. Subdivided into vascular tumors (hemangiomas) and vascular malformations, vascular anomalies remain poorly understood. However, growing interest and recent advances in the diagnosis, management, and molecular characterization of these lesions are improving treatment strategies. The role of the multidisciplinary team cannot be overstated. This review provides both basic and up-to-date knowledge on the most common vascular anomalies encountered by physicians and practitioners. Because treatment options for vascular anomalies are widely variable and often debated, this report aims to provide a comprehensive approach to these lesions based upon current concepts and practical clinical experience.

“…Dynamic observation is very important; as shown in case 2, in which US revealed small‐bowel wall segmental thickening only when the intestine was contracted. GI venous malformations are characterized by uniform thickening of the intestinal wall and compressible masses that do not cause stenosis of the intestinal cavity because they include abnormal vessels and show cellular turnover without proliferation or cellular hyperplasia 11,12 …”

Gastrointestinal (GI) venous malformations are extremely rare. Such malformations present in the pediatric age group and can occur anywhere in the digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, small or large intestine, anus, and mesentery). We present the sonographic findings of three cases of pediatric GI venous malformation. Sonography is an important diagnostic method in pediatric GI venous malformations.

Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign vascular tumors in children. They present a characteristic natural history of spontaneous involution after a phase of initial proliferation. A small but significant minority demonstrates incomplete regression or complications and requires prompt intervention. Prediction of the evolution of infantile hemangiomas is challenging because of their morphological and behavioral heterogeneity. The decision between referral for treatment and observation is sometimes difficult, especially among non‐expert physicians, with the risk of missing the period for optimizing outcomes in case of delayed intervention. The aim of this review is to update our knowledge, especially of the primary care providers, regarding the ongoing difficulties of the early clinical evaluation of infantile hemangiomas, and to outline the importance of current practical scoring tools for the identification of the lesions which require expert consultation and referral.
