Vascular Anomalies Program
Make an Appointment
Our team is here to help you make an appointment with the specialists that you need.
The body’s vascular system consists of blood (arteries, veins, capillaries) and lymphatic vessels. Disorders in the development of the vascular system can cause vascular tumors or malformation called vascular anomalies. Vascular anomaly conditions can range in severity from small localized birthmarks, to extremely complex conditions depending on the type of vessel or vessels involved, location, size and may even impact your child’s overall health.
Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) form from tangled and abnormal direct connections between arteries and veins because the necessary capillaries are missing.
Arteriovenous Malformations
Vascular birthmarks are made of blood and lymphatic vessels can be red or strawberry colored, as in a port wine stain or a hemangioma, which is more tumor-like.
Birthmarks
The vascular or circulatory system is made up of capillaries, arteries, veins, and lymphatics that carry blood and lymphatic fluids throughout the body.
Combined/Complex Malformations
Fibro-Adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) occurs when a significant percentage of a kid's muscle in one of their limbs is taken over by tough, fibrous, fatty vascular tissue.
Fibro-Adipose Vascular Anomaly
Hemangiomas are non-cancerous tumors that are red or strawberry-colored when they are located on the skin’s surface and blue-purple when they are in the deeper skin layers.
Hemangiomas
Lymphatic Malformations can occur anywhere in the body, sometimes in isolation or widespread to a limb or deeper in the muscles and bones.
Lymphatic Malformations (LMs)
Pyogenic granulomas are common, non-cancerous, small red bumpy growths found on the skin and mucous membranes, usually on the head and neck on children.
Pyogenic Granuloma
Spindle cell hemangiomas are non-cancerous tumors that look long and thin under the microscope.
Spindle-Cell Hemangioma
Venous malformations (VeMs) are the most common type of vascular malformation and can be simple and superficial or complex and deep in the body's muscles, bones, or organs.
