Abstract

Vascular anomalies is very wide and challenging topic. It can be devided into 2 main classification 1) vascular tumour and 2) vascular malformation. Imaging play an important role in the diagnosis of vascular anomalies which include ultrasound including Doppler study and cross sectional imaging either CT scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Rarely these lesions require tissue biopsy. A knowledge on vascular anomalies classification is important so that everyone is talking with similar language that easy to understand and the imaging features of these lesions are also important in order to deliver appropriate treatment to the patient.
