Updates to the Management of Gorham –Stout Disease and Osseous Vascular Lesions in the Head and Neck
Osseous vascular anomalies can be characterized as vascular tumors or malformations. Classification is vital for prognosis and treatment. Much remains unknown about conditions such as Gorham –Stout disease. Treatments target the proposed genetic pathways such as PI3KCA/AKT/mTOR pathway. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics)

Medical Management of Nonmalignant Vascular Tumors of the Head and Neck
Vascular anomalies, broadly classified as nonmalignant tumors and malformations, consist of a multitude of disorders that have a wide range of symptoms and complications as well as overlapping clinical, radiologic, and histologic findings. Although usually difficult, distinguishing between nonmalignant vascular tumors and malformations, as well as the precise diagnosis within these distinctions, is critical because prognosis, therapy, and chronicity of care vary greatly. In contrast to normal endothelial turnover in vascular malformations, vascular tumors are characterized by the abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells...

Updates in Genetic Testing for Head and Neck Vascular Anomalies
Vascular anomalies include benign or malignant tumors or benign malformations of the arteries, veins, capillaries, or lymphatic vasculature. The genetic etiology of the lesion is essential to define the lesion and can help navigate choice of therapy. . In the United States, about 1.2% of the population has a vascular anomaly, which may be underestimating the true prevalence as genetic testing for these conditions continues to evolve.

Dermatologic Review in Pediatric Vascular Lesions
Vascular anomalies (VAs) can be present in any organ; however, the skin being the largest one, it is there where many of them are evident; some are visible at birth, others develop throughout life. Pediatric dermatologists are specially trained to distinguish VAs from their mimickers, which require different treatments and may harbor distinct prognoses. We resume the diagnostic and therapeutic tasks of pediatric dermatologist at our vascular anomaly clinics, as well as the differential diagnoses of mimickers of VAs.

Vascular Anomalies - Molecular, Testing and Management Updates
We thank each individual person and their families that we have encountered with vascular anomalies, their trust in our ability, the peers and authors who helped contribute to this endeavor, and our publishing team. We have done similar issues before, and there is lot more to do in helping to understand vascular anamolies. We, hope you will read, learn, and teach us and provide care for many.

Management of Midfacial and Skull Vault Osseous Vascular Lesions
There continuous to be widespread misuse of nomenclature used to described vascular anomalies, This is even more pronounced in the case of intra-osseous lesions. Bone involvement is more common with vascular malformations and extremely rare in haemangiomas. An accurate diagnosis is mandatory for tailored management and often based on a thorough history, clinical examination, and cross-sectional imaging. Surgery remains the main stay for the management of symptomatic venous malformations. Embolisation with or without surgery is the main stay for arteriovenous malformations. Virtual surgical planning, with surgical guides an...

Lasers and Nonsurgical Modalities
Head and neck vascular pathology is routinely encountered by the maxillofacial surgeon. Although these anomalies have been traditionally managed by surgical means, adjunctive therapies have been popularized in recent years. The use of laser therapy has gained attention for its ability to better access and to provide more predictable outcomes in the highly intricate and vascular areas of the head and neck. Laser therapy allows for the selective targeting of diseased tissue while maintaining the integrity of surrounding healthy tissue. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics)

Case Reviews in Head and Neck Vascular Lesion Management
The treatment of hemangiomas and vascular malformations should be individualized, based upon the size of the lesion(s), morphology, location, presence or possibility of complications, the potential for scarring or disfigurement, the age of the patient, and the rate of growth or involution at the time of evaluation. The major challenge is the location in a head and neck can lead to unsightly scars if approached improperly, or with inadequate approaches can lead to intraoperative and postoperative morbidity with neurovascular damage and inadequate lesion excision. Facial, trigeminal, and other cranial nerve branches are of k...
