Vulvar venous malformations in an 11-year-old girl: a case report

Arteriovenous Malformation of the Vulva

“…Although ultrasonography usually reveals vascular malformations as compressible, hypoechoic, and heterogeneous lesions, color Doppler ultrasonography illustrates these malformations with low-velocity, monophasic low flow [4]. These malformations may also be confirmed with directinjection venography or angiography [4].…”

“…In general, vascular lesions may be classified based on the main channel type, that is, arterial, venous, capillary, lymphatic, or mixed [4]. They can be further subdivided based on flow characteristics into slow-flow or fast-flow lesions [4].…”

Resection of a Vulvar Arteriovenous Malformation in a Premenarchal Patient

“…5 Sclerosing agents alone also have been described in the successful treatment of congenital venous malformations of the vulva. 6 After the lesion has been obliterated, smaller lesions then often can be resected.…”
