Indication for a Pneumocystis Prophylaxis Therapy in Patients with Vascular Anomalies Treated with PIK3/AKT/mTOR Pathway Inhibitors: Experts' Opinion and Systematic Review from the Literature.

Background: Vascular anomalies (VAs) are increasingly being treated with PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitors. These drugs have immunosuppressive properties and thus theoretically overexpose patients to opportunistic infections, especially Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). PJP prophylaxis use lacks consensus.

Characteristics, Natural Course and Treatment of Intramuscular Capillary-type Haemangioma: A Systematic Literature Review.

Intramuscular capillary-type haemangiomas (ICTH) are rare vascular anomalies that can easily be misdiagnosed as other entities. A systematic review was performed of all cases of ICTH in the literature since its first description in 1972. An adjudication committee reviewed cases to include only ICTHs.
