Background: Congenital arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are infrequent but represent a serious medical challenge because of their unpredictable progression and high hemodynamic activity.
Case: We report on the treatment of a voluminous vulvar AVM in a 16-year-old girl. After failure of medical therapy, we performed a radical surgical resection with preliminary embolization and flap reconstruction.
Summary And Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach is required for AVM management. Early intervention and complete surgical resection combined with preliminary embolization represents the ideal therapy.
