AB Vascular  anomalies  are  common  birthmarks.1  Their  classification  has  often  been  problematic,  with  contradictory  and  confusing  descriptive  nomenclature.  A  classification  system  first  proposed  by  Mulliken  and  Glowacki  was  revised  in  1996  by  the  International  Society  for  the  Study  of  Vascular  Anomalies  based  on  clinical,  radiologic,  and  hemodynamic  characteristics,  into  vascular  malformations  and  vascular  tumors.2  Vascular  malformations  (see  Chapter  172)  are  errors  of  morphogenesis  whereas  hemangiomas  and  other  vascular  tumors  grow  by  cellular  proliferation.
