Vascular malformations are structural anomalies in the blood vessels. They are present at birth and persist throughout life. These malformations can be classified according to the type of vessel involved. A port-wine stain is a vascular malformation characterized by an increased number of ectatic vessels in the dermal vascular plexus, which can be found in any part of the body, including the head and neck region. Over time, most of these stains result in soft tissue hypertrophy and this growth can cause severe facial deformity.
This study describes a rare case of a giant proliferative vascular anomaly arising from a port-wine stain on the face.
The report highlights the continuous and proliferative growth of the malformation observed after follow-up of 18 years, as well as the difficulty in establishing the diagnosis due to the complexity and dimension of the lesion and the conditions related to the patient's low socioeconomic status.
We have described a rare and unusual case report of a giant proliferative vascular malformation arising from a Port-wine stain on the face.
血管畸形是血管的结构异常。它们在出生时就存在,并终生持续存在。这些畸形可根据受累血管的类型进行分类。葡萄酒色斑是一种血管畸形,其特征是真皮血管丛中扩张血管数量增加,可出现在身体的任何部位,包括头颈部区域。随着时间的推移,这些色斑大多会导致软组织肥大,这种生长会导致严重的面部畸形。
本研究描述了一例罕见的源于面部葡萄酒色斑的巨大增生性血管异常病例。
该报告强调了在18年的随访中观察到的畸形的持续增生性生长,以及由于病变的复杂性和大小以及与患者低社会经济地位相关的情况而难以确立诊断。
我们描述了一例罕见且不寻常的病例报告,即源于面部葡萄酒色斑的巨大增生性血管畸形。
