About Vascular Anomalies
Vascular anomalies are composed of blood vessels which have developed abnormally. These blood vessels include arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels, and/or capillaries.

The Vascular Anomalies Center classifies vascular anomalies as:

Hemangiomas and Vascular Malformations are the two major groups of vascular anomalies. Although lesions in these two groups often look quite similar, they are biologically very different and, therefore, require different treatment.
