Extracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is most commonly caused by a somatic mutation in MAP2K1. We report two patients with vascular anomalies that had an unclear clinical diagnosis most consistent with either an AVM or congenital hemangioma. Lesions were cutaneous, reddish-purple with telangiectasias, present at birth, and had defined borders. Histopathology indicated AVM and both lesions contained somatic KRAS mutations. A rare AVM phenotype exists that shares clinical features with congenital hemangioma.
颅外动静脉畸形(AVM)最常见的病因是 MAP2K1 的种系突变。我们报告了两例血管异常患者,其临床诊断最符合 AVM 或先天性血管瘤。病变为皮肤性,呈紫红色,伴有毛细血管扩张,出生时即存在,边界清晰。组织病理学提示 AVM,且两处病变均存在 KRAS 种系突变。存在一种罕见的 AVM 表型,其临床表现与先天性血管瘤相似。
