“…and treatment. 3,7 Therefore, a complete blood count should be sent on all patients with tufted angiomas, and thrombocytopenia or rapid lesion progression should prompt additional coagulopathy testing. 2,15 The differential diagnosis for tufted angiomas with osseous involvement includes the more common pediatric diagnoses of osteoid osteoma and osteomyelitis, as well as other benign and malignant tumors, including glomus tumors, which have a predilection for the finger phalanges.…”

“…5 Treatment of tufted angiomas with medical and procedural interventions has variable efficacy, so surgical excision remains the treatment of choice for small, solitary, symptomatic lesions. 3 Given the rates of spontaneous regression, treatment with active surveillance is reasonable for uncomplicated tufted angiomas with minimal symptoms. 9 Other nonprocedural treatments of uncomplicated tufted angiomas include low-dose aspirin, topical immunomodulators, systemic corticosteroids, and vincristine monotherapy.…”

A tufted angioma is a benign vascular tumor of the skin and subcutaneous tissue that classically presents as a violaceous nodule on the trunk or extremities in early childhood. Tufted angiomas of the finger are uncommon, and intraosseous involvement of these tumors is exceedingly rare. When present in the bone, these lesions may be difficult to distinguish from the more common pediatric condition of osteomyelitis or osteoid osteoma. We present the clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic findings for a unique case of a tufted angioma with intraosseous involvement in the middle phalanx treated by surgical excision and curettage with preservation of function.

Vascular anomalies represent a diverse group of complex disorders that can cause significant complications, including coagulopathies, pain, and decreased function. The diagnosis of vascular anomalies is often challenging due to heterogeneity of presenting phenotypes and overlapping clinical features with other pediatric conditions.Pediatric hematologists/oncologists (PHO) are uniquely positioned for an essential role in diagnosing, managing, and coordinating the multidisciplinary care required to maximize the quality of life of these patients. Here, we review the diagnostic approach involved in patients with vascular anomalies and utilize cases to highlight the challenges involved, and how PHOs can play a vital part in the care of these patients.
