vascular malformation

Vascular malformation is an abnormal tangle or cluster of blood vessels that develops before birth. These unusual vessels can be arteries, veins, or lymphatic vessels, and they grow at the same rate as your body. Unlike blood vessel tumors, malformations are typically present at birth and tend to grow slowly over time. They can cause symptoms like swelling, discoloration, or pain depending on their size and location. While some vascular malformations remain unnoticed, others may require medical evaluation and treatment to manage symptoms or prevent complications.
