Proper nomenclature is a major obstacle in understanding and managing vascular anomalies. Often the same term is used for totally different types of lesions or, conversely, the same lesion may be labeled with different terms. Although in recent times there has been a greater understanding of the problems concerning vascular anomalies, episodes of improper use of terminology still remain. The aim of this article, starting from the most recent classification of vascular anomalies, is to provide a clinical and instrumental approach to identifying these lesions and to converge towards a clear and unambiguous terminology that must become univocal among the various operators to avoid diagnostic misunderstandings and therapeutic errors.
正确的命名法是理解和处理血管异常的主要障碍。通常，同一个术语被用于完全不同类型的病变，或者相反，同一病变可能被贴上不同的术语标签。尽管近年来对血管异常相关问题有了更深入的了解，但术语使用不当的情况仍然存在。本文旨在从最新的血管异常分类入手，提供一种临床和仪器检查方法来识别这些病变，并趋向于采用清晰明确的术语，这种术语在不同操作者之间必须是统一的，以避免诊断误解和治疗错误。
