Vascular anomalies, both vascular tumors and vascular malformations, can occur in isolation or as part of syndromes including those which feature phenotypic overgrowth. To update what is known about vascular anomalies associated with overgrowth, PubMed was searched for “overgrowth syndromes and vascular anomalies or malformations.” PubMed, OMIM, and the Rare Disease Database also were searched for specific diagnoses. We review individual overgrowth syndromes, provide a case‐based approach to the clinical, radiographic, pathologic, and genetic basis for diagnosis, to complications of both the vascular anomalies and the overgrowth, and emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary approach to care.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
