Evidence-Based Management of Head and Neck Vascular Anomalies

Abstract

Vascular malformations of the head and neck may affect all tissue layers including skin, subcutaneous fat, muscle, mucosa, and bone. These lesions are associated with:

  • Soft tissue overgrowth and enlargement.

  • Primary skeletal involvement with malformation.

  • Vascular lesions may also mold or misshape skeletal structures by virtue of their mass. This is referred to as a secondary mass effect which leads to either thinning or hypertrophy of the adjacent bone.
