  • Title: Vascular anomalies: differential diagnosis and mimickers.
    Author: Garzon MC, Weitz N, Powell J.
    Journal: Semin Cutan Med Surg; 2016 Sep; 35(3):170-6. PubMed ID: 27607326.
    Abstract:
    Vascular anomalies are very common in children and encompass a wide spectrum of diseases. Many vascular anomalies can be mistaken for infantile hemangioma (IH). In addition, there is a variety of rare disorders including benign and malignant tumors that may mimic IH and other types of vascular anomalies. Understanding the clinical features, natural history, and typical clinical course of different types of vascular anomalies is essential in order to make the correct diagnosis and guide management. Radiologic imaging plays an important role in establishing the diagnosis; and when the diagnosis remains in doubt, a biopsy performed by a surgical specialist with expertise may prove to be lifesaving.
