Abstract :

There is a significant confusion in the terminology among physicians from different disciplines when describing vascular anomalies. The syndromic forms of vascular anomalies are usually misdiagnosed. Moreover, terminology for vascular malformations associated with segmental overgrowth continues to be debated and categorization is still a challenge. Despite the advances in genomic sequencing techniques, accurate clinical diagnosis is still essential. Accurate description of the cutaneous lesions, associated findings and the overgrowth patterns are the first clues leading to the diagnosis. Early diagnosis of the subtypes of these syndromes is essential for the optimum management of the affected patients. This presentation will be covering differential diagnosis of the established syndromes with asymmetric overgrowth and vascular anomalies including Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS), Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita (CMTC), Macrocephaly-Capillary Malformation Syndrome (M-CM), Diffuse Capillary Malformation with overgrowth (DCMO) Syndrome, Congenital Lipomatous Overgrowth and Vascular malformation with epidermal nevus and skeletal (CLOVES) abnormalities.
