Author(s): Jie Zhou, Lei Guo*, Liang Wang, Jing Li, Zhuang Liu and Jiali Sun
Background: Venous Malformations (VMs) are the most common vascular malformations which can be classified as
focal, multifocal, or diffuse types. VMs have a higher incidence in muscle than skin, subcutaneous tissue. But the risk
of focal venous malformations with muscle involvement is not well defined.
Objective: The aim of our study was to observe clinical features of focal VMs and make risk evaluation of them based
on positions that are associated with invasion of muscle.
Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective review of patients treated for focal VMs between February 2021 and
February 2022.
Results: We assessed 26 patients focal VMs with 47 lesions; 18 (69%) were unifocal, 3 (12%) were dual-focal and 5
(19%) were multifocal type VMs, and 29 (62%) were intramuscular .. View More»
