“…A study from 2017 determined the frequency of an additional internal vascular anomaly in cases of focal genital venous malformations to be 45% (10 of 22 patients). 18 Despite different inclusion criteria regarding malformation types, our results confirm that approximately 50% of external genital cases also have internal involvement. This suggests that in cases of vascular malformation of the external genitalia, a small externally visible finding is often combined with a larger internal lesion, which can cause substantial health concerns if undetected.…”

“…Another limitation is the heterogeneity of our study population. Other studies have focused on one entity such as VM or included only one sex 3,9,18 . Conversely, the heterogeneity of our study may also be a strength, as it may represent a more realistic patient population comparable to that seen in everyday clinical practice.…”

“…Conversely, the heterogeneity of our study may also be a strength, as it may represent a more realistic patient population comparable to that seen in everyday clinical practice.

Background. Vascular malformations of the genitalia often go undetected in clinical examination. These vascular malformations can cause a variety of clinical symptoms such as swelling, pain and bleeding. Aim. To characterize the distribution patterns of genital vascular malformations using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to correlate these patterns with clinical findings in order to guide diagnostic decisions. Methods. A retrospective analysis of MRIs of the pelvis and legs in 370 patients with vascular malformation was performed to determine the involvement of the internal and external genitalia. Results. In 71 patients (19%), genital involvement could be identified by MRI. Of these, 11.3% (8 of 71) presented with internal involvement, 36.6% (26 of 71) with external involvement and 52.1% (37 of 71) with both internal and external involvement. Over half (57.1%) of the 49 patients with visible external genital signs detected during a clinical examination had additional internal genital involvement. Conclusions. Genital involvement is a common finding in patients with vascular malformation of the legs and/or pelvis. Based on our data, we recommend MRI of the legs and pelvic region in patients with externally visible signs of a vascular malformation of the external genitalia in order to exclude additional internal involvement.

“…Other vascular malformations have also been reported in vascular malformation of the colorectum, such as serosal venous malformation of the cecum and appendix [4] and genital venous malformation [19]. In this study, nine patients (33.3%) had other associated vascular malformations, all of which were not managed.…”

Vascular Malformation of the Colorectum in Children: Case Series of 27 Patients

Background Vascular malformation of the colorectum is a rare disease that presents most commonly in early childhood. Some pull-through procedures have been performed for its treatment. However, laparotomy was routinely required. The aim of this study was to present features of this disease, as well as the outcomes of transanal endorectal pull-through (TEPT) with or without laparotomy. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on consecutive patients with vascular malformation of the colorectum who underwent TEPT with or without laparotomy in our hospital between January 2010 and December 2019. Follow-up information included hematochezia, other bleeding and bowel function. Bowel function was assessed using the Rintala score. Results Twenty-seven patients were included (14 boys and 13 girls). Hematochezia and anemia were the main chief complaints. Perianal vasodilatation and prolapse of rectal mucosa with spurting blood were detected in 13 (48.1%) and 9 (33.3%), respectively. Eighteen patients (66.7%) underwent TEPT with laparotomy, and 9 patients underwent TEPT without laparotomy (including 5 TEPT under laparoscopic supervision) for lesions located beyond the distal sigmoid colon. Compared to TEPT with laparotomy, the length of resected bowel and operative time was significantly shorter in TEPT without laparotomy (p = 0.001 and p = 0.004). There was no statistical difference for intraoperative blood loss. Other vascular malformations were detected in 9 patients (33.3%); 3 were detected by laparoscopy. Three patients (11.1%) experienced postoperative complications. Follow-up was held with 24 patients (3 were lost to follow-up). The mean follow-up time was 51.9 ± 32.8 months. Four patients occasionally had bloody stools, without anemia. None had hematuria or vaginal bleeding. Median bowel function score was 20 (range 17-20). Conclusion Hematochezia, anemia and hemorrhoid-like manifestations might be an indication for vascular malformation of the colorectum in children. TEPT was effective for vascular malformation of the colorectum, and TEPT without laparotomy was more suitable for the short lesions.
