Hemangiomas and superficial vascular malformations are disfiguring
birthmarks that can occur over 65% of a child's body. This atlas will
focus on the classification, multidisciplinary approach, recognition
and identification, and treatment options for this class of
pathology. Vascular malformations, composed of malformed vessels,
never regress and sometimes expand rapidly. They occur in any body
part including viscera. They cause cosmetic problems, functional
disability and can be life threatening and require radiologic imaging
and pathology to recognize and perform differential diagnosis on
various vascular anomalies. In addition, new techniques, including
molecular biology procedures, have evolved allowing less invasive and
a more effective approach to diagnosis and treatment.
? The first new book to review the latest ISSVA classification,
diagnostic and treatment protocols for full body hemangiomas and
cutaneous vascular lesions in almost 20 years
? Illustrated with over 400 color photographs that review the latest
imaging, pathological analysis and treatment options
? Reviews the latest molecular biology aspects of treating these
pathologies
? Odile Enjolras, MD, the lead author, is a leading and world
renowned researcher of these diseases and important member of the
ISSVA
