Overview

Vascular malformation is a blood vessel abnormality. There are many types, but the most common is arteriovenous malformation. Clinical behavior and growth cycles vary widely and it may cause clinical and aesthetic problems. International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) has classified vascular malformation into simple malformation, combined malformation, those of major named vessels, and those associated with other anomalies. Simple malformation have been divided further into capillary malformation, venous malformation and lymphatic malformation.

Provisionally unclassified vascular anomalies

Intramuscular hemangioma

Angiokeratoma

  • A muco-cutaneous vascular lesion with wart-like papular appearance characterized by dilated capillaries in the dermis and hyperkeratotis of the overlying epidermis. Clinically it may manifest as solitary or multiple hyperkeratotic papules that may be localized or generalized, most typically on scrotum, thighs, lower extremity, abdomen, trunk, tongue, penis and labia majora. Majority of the lesions are asymptomatic but some may ulcerate and/or bleed.[8][9][10]
  • It may be classified into following entities:[10]
    • Fordyce’s angiokeratoma (arising on the genitals)
    • Mibelli’s angiokeratoma (dorsum of toes and fingers)
    • Angiokeratoma circumscriptum naeviforme (unilateral large keratotic plaques)
    • Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum (ACD) (generalized lesions between umbilicus and the knee)
  • Angiokeratomas are more prevalent among males as compared to females. Increased venous pressure and radiation therapy have been cited as possible causes. Angiokeratomas have been associated with enzyme deficiencies such as alpha-galactosidase A (Fabry disease), α-fucosidase (fucosidosis), neuraminidase (sialodosis), aspartyl glycosaminase (aspartyl glucosaminuria), β-mannosidase (β- mannosidosis), α-N-acetyl galactosaminidase (Kansaki disease), and β-galactosidase (adult onset GM1 gangliosidosis).[10][8][9][11][12]
  • The diagnosis is mainly clinical but biopsy may be required. Associated enzyme deficiencies and systemic disorders must be ruled out. Treatment is generally not indicated but if so required then excision, electrocautery, cryotherapy, or laser ablations are the options.[8][12][10][13][11]
