Abstract

Venous malformation is one of the most common type of congenital vascular malformation which normally involves the lymphatic system. It is a common type of congenital vascular lesion with recorded incidence of 0.01%, from this 0.01%, 40% is from the neck region, 40% occurs in the trunk, and another 20% in the extremities. The pathogenesis remains unclear. This article elaborates on the type of venous malformation, imaging modality assisting to come to a definitive diagnosis. Surgical excision is the best compared to non-operative method in managing superficial well encapsulated localized venolymphatic malformation.
