Few case series have been described, and none in Spain.
Aim: To identify the prevalence of dermatological parameters, FFVMs and associated features in a large series of patients with CM-AVM.
Importance: Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) syndrome is a recently described syndrome with distinctive cutaneous lesions. Very little is known about the histopathology of these lesions.
Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the histopathological characteristics of the pink macules of the CM-AVM syndrome and to investigate if these pink macules could be classified as capillary malformations or arteriovenous malformations based on their histopathological features.
