Vascular malformation: case report and literature review

J S C Med Assoc. 1991 Nov;87(11):539-42.

Abstract

The therapeutic outcome of congenital vascular malformations generally parallels the complexity of the lesion. The less extensive malformations that are prone to regression may be observed. Larger lesions that produce facial asymmetry or have diffuse extremity involvement require a more aggressive approach. Even with the limitations of current treatment methods these extensive malformations can usually be controlled thus affording the patient a better life.
