Hemangiomas and Vascular Malformations

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Dermatologic Ultrasound with Clinical and Histologic Correlations

Abstract

In this chapter we will review the sonographic morphology of hemangiomas and vascular malformations, the most common cutaneous vascular anomalies. Technical considerations, useful classifications, and percutaneous interventional procedures guided by ultrasound that are frequently performed in vascular lesions are discussed.

How to deal with the most common forms of vascular tumors and their ultrasound findings
