| Popis: | Vascular malformations can mimic malignant tumors, and the coexistence of both types of lesions can limit and interfere with treatment. A consecutive series of vascular malformations that were treated and evaluated in a single institute and cases involving vascular anomalies combined with malignancies or malignancies that were treated as vascular anomalies were analyzed.Absolute ethanol is used in the treatment and management of vascular malformations and is sometimes administered before a definitive diagnosis has been obtained, despite the fact that some vascular lesions are subsequently revealed to be malignant tumors. This study discusses such cases.From January 2006 to August 2012, 139 patients were treated for vascular malformations at Nagasaki University Hospital and were followed up for a minimum of 1 year.Four malignant lesions coexisted with or were misdiagnosed as vascular malformations, including a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor located in the chest, a hemangiopericytoma of the palate, an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cheek, and a squamous cell carcinoma of the cheek. Thus, malignant lesions were detected in 2.88% of cases in which vascular malformations were preoperatively diagnosed.When treating vascular malformations, it is advisable to be aware of the possibility of malignancy. |
