Vascular anomalies are abnormalities of the vascular system. Most vascular anomalies are visible on the body's surface and treatable with various techniques. Others can be discovered deeper in the body later in life, around prepubescent or puberty age, as they grow.

Vascular anomalies are divided into two groups: vascular tumors and vascular malformations.

Vascular tumors treated by our Vascular Anomalies team include:

  • Hemangioma
  • Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE)
  • Angiosarcoma

  • Hemangiomas (Birthmarks)

    The pediatric vascular anomalies team at Arkansas Children's treats various hemangiomas (also called strawberry birthmarks).

Complex or Combined Syndromes with Vascular Malformation Associations

Combined/complex malformations treated by our Vascular Anomalies team include:

  • Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, or KTS
  • Parkes-Weber Syndrome
  • Proteus Syndrome
  • CLOVES Syndrome
  • FAVA (fibro-adipose vascular anomaly)
  • Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT or Osler-Weber-Rendu) Syndrome

  • Klippel-Trenauney Syndrome (KTS) (KTS)

    The characteristics of this syndrome are a mixed venous-lymphatic malformation usually involving the extremities. There is usually a port wine-like stain on the affected limb, and there is usually a difference in size between the affected and nonaffected limb, the affected one being larger.
