Patient's question:
I have been feeling swollen lymph nodes under my neck recently, and they become red and swollen, making it obvious to see the pattern of blood vessels. After a series of detailed examinations and diagnoses at the hospital, I was told I have a vascular malformation. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms and manifestations of this vascular malformation?Doctor's answer:
Vascular malformations are divided into 1. Hemangiomas. 2. Vascular malformations. 1. Microvenous malformations: include midline microvenous malformations and microvenous malformations. 2. Venous malformations. 3. Arteriovenous malformations. 4. Lymphatic malformations: are divided into microcystic and macrocystic types. 5. Mixed malformations: include venous-lymphatic malformations and venous-microvenous malformations. They are commonly found in the parotid region or upper neck, formed by arterial rupture with blood retention in soft tissue, resulting in a pulsatile lesion; pathological examination reveals fibrous walls and blood clots. Angiography is often used for definitive diagnosis.
