Abstract
This chapter is about tumors and malformations affecting the arterial, venous, and/or lymphatic system in a wide clinical manifestation and may compromise any anatomical site, within the cranium, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and limbs. Symptomatic patients with hemorrhage, muscular pain, movement limitation, coagulopathy, aesthetic discomfort, or deformity have indications to be treated based on Mulliken and Glowacki’s classification (modified by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies) in which vascular anomalies were divided according to cellular features, clinical presentation, natural history, and treatment into hemangiomas and vascular malformations. Besides, that contains tips dedicated to non-specialists and also objective topics for students in formation.
