“…As described in Alomari's article, several cases reported as intramuscular cavernous hemangiomas might correspond with FAVA, since the lesions were typically located within the gastrocnemius muscle and dense fibrous-adipose tissue was found at surgical exploration. [4][5][6] Histological findings in our case showed both components, fibrofatty tissue and slow-flow vascular malformations including venous and lymphatic subtypes. The lymphatic component was supported by endothelial D2-40 inmunopositivity.…”

The acronym FAVA (Fibro-Adipose Vascular Anomaly) has been recently given to a distinct vascular entity that is characterized by fibrofatty infiltration of muscle, unusual phlebectasia with pain, and contracture of the affected extremity. We report a new case of FAVA in a 10-year-old girl with pain in her right lower leg and equinus contracture. As in our case, FAVA typically presents in young females with calf involvement and limited ankle dorsiflexion with local pain. FAVA should be considered as a differential diagnosis when evaluating vascular anomalies in the lower extremities.

“…Vascular surgery consultation is often required for patients with FAVA; therefore, vascular surgeons should be aware of this new entity to distinguish it from the classical venous malformations or tumors of the lower extremities and to avoid delay in diagnosis and/or initiation of inappropriate treatments [9].…”

BackgroundFirst identified in 2014, fibroadipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) is a very rare type of venous and lymphatic malformation. Marked by tough fibrofatty tissue in the extremities overtaking portions of the muscles, it is associated with constant pain and contracture of the affected extremity. There is a paucity of literature, and no guidelines on treatment procedure are available. This case highlights the role of hybrid treatment with primary ethanol percutaneous ethanol embolization and additional surgery for radicality in excision of FAVA lesions.Case summaryA 9-year-old girl with FAVA underwent the hybrid treatment. The achievements of complete excision, clinical response, and patient satisfaction in long-term follow-up were assessed. Following the hybrid treatment, the patient experienced significant improvement in pain. Concurrent symptoms of physical limitation, leg swelling, and skin hyperesthesia also improved. The clinical benefit, supported by postoperative physiotherapy, was well stabilized at 6-month follow-up, resulting in complete patient satisfaction at 12- and 36-month follow-ups. No major complications were encountered.ConclusionEthanol embolization plus surgery is a safe, effective, and long-term hybrid treatment of symptomatic FAVA lesions.
