    Author(s): Jie Zhou, Lei Guo*, Liang Wang, Jing Li, Zhuang Liu and Jiali Sun

    Background: Venous Malformations (VMs) are the most common vascular malformations which can be classified as focal, multifocal, or diffuse types. VMs have a higher incidence in muscle than skin, subcutaneous tissue. But the risk of focal venous malformations with muscle involvement is not well defined. Objective: The aim of our study was to observe clinical features of focal VMs and make risk evaluation of them based on positions that are associated with invasion of muscle. Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective review of patients treated for focal VMs between February 2021 and February 2022. Results: We assessed 26 patients focal VMs with 47 lesions; 18 (69%) were unifocal, 3 (12%) were dual-focal and 5 (19%) were multifocal type VMs, and 29 (62%) were intramuscular .. View More»
