“…It seems that postponing the arteriovenous malformation surgery in patients who reveal the symptoms of growth is not justified (16). A delay in making the decision may only lead to an increased probability of developing infection, necrosis or bleeding within the tumour and definitely hampers the procedure itself.…”

Kierownik: prof. dr hab. P. Wójcicki Vascular tumours and malformations are revealed at birth and do not subside. The aim of the study was to present the principles and outcomes of treatment of patients with arteriovenous malformations treated at the Clinic of Plastic Surgery in Polanica Zdrój in the years 2009-2010. only one patient, who had not been treated previously, had the lesion on the cheek removed subtotally and the defect was closed by means of local repair. In the remaining patients, with primary lesions located in the auricle, scalp, and cheeks, the indications for operation included recurrent infections, ulcerations, and first of all, massive, life-threatening haemorrhages. All the patients, treated for many years in other centres, had underwent numerous resection procedures, vessel ligations, embolizations and obliterations. The patients were followed up after the surgery every 6 months. The therapy aim was achieved in all the patients. Vascular tumours were removed totally or subtotally, the lost structures were reconstructed and permanent healing of the wound was achieved. None of the patients developed recurrence of the disease, infection, or bleeding.

“…Clinically, arteriovenous malformations can appear in soft tissues or bone and are typically not accompanied by pain, but rather frequent episodes of bleeding. These lesions have a reliable natural history comprised of four distinct stages: quiescent, growing, symptomatic, and decompensating (Lee et al 2004, Visser et al 2011 Presenting symptoms include congestive heart failure, embolism, pain, bleeding, and ulceration (Joshua et al 2014). On physical examination, the lesions may appear blue and may feel warm with pulsating and thrill because of the increased blood flow.…”

“…The intriguing data of Boye and colleagues suggest one mechanism for hemangioma formation and bring the field a step closer to understanding the molecular etiology of this common tumor. (17), (37) Newer treatment options for hemangioma may well pose less risk for the patient, allowing the practitioner to intervene in a relatively safe, and more timely manner. Propranolol is now first-line therapy for many practitioners, and it is hoped that future studies will confirm its efficacy and safety.…”
