An Unusual Case of Giant ArterioVenous Malformation of Anterior Abdominal Wall
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 8
Abstract
Arterio-Venous Malformations (AVMs) are high flow vascular anomalies, commonly seen in head, neck and extremities. AVMs represent a direct connection between the arterial and the venous systems. They are congenital, often asymptomatic and rarely manifest before adolescence. Depending on the site, size and symptoms, treatment options varies from conservative management to surgical resection. Here, we report a case of 20-year-old male patient with long standing lump in the anterior abdominal wall with no typical clinical features of vascular lesions. However, imaging findings were suggestive of vascular malformation, and final histopathological examination revealed arterio-venous malformation.
