Abstract
Vascular malformations are frequent pathologies in the pediatric age group and they can represent a real diagnostic challenge for the radiologist. In 1996, as a result of the efforts of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies, a new classification system clearly separated these developmental anomalies from the he- mangiomas. The latter are benign tumors characterized by cells proliferations. Therefore, the vague term “angiomas” has now been replaced by specific entities, with adapted denomination, which present specific clinical and imaging features.
