Verrucous venous malformation (VVM), recently reclassified from verrucous hemangioma, is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that is traditionally diagnosed on histopathologic analysis of deep tissue biopsy. This case report documents the utility of magnetic resonance imaging in confirming VVM diagnosis, characterizing lesion extent and guiding therapy.

Vascular anomalies (VA) are classified as either vascular tumors or vascular malformations. Vascular tumors are characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of endothelial cells, whereas vascular malformations result from defects in the pathways that regulate the development of vascular channels during embryogenesis. Dermatological ultrasound has emerged as a critical diagnostic tool for distinguishing VA from other conditions and differentiating among various types of VA by providing detailed imaging characteristics.

In oral cancer surgeries, oncological outcomes take precious driverseat. But the copassengers like reconstruction, cosmesis, swallowing and speech outcomes deserve equivalent importance. Submental Artery Island Flaps (SAIF) provide an underutilized and extremely versatile option for reconstruction of defects following early stage oral cavity tumour resections.

Background: Verrucous venous malformation (VVM), previously called "verrucous hemangioma," is a rare type of vascular malformation.
Objective: Little is known about the ultrasonographic characteristics of VVM. The present study aimed to show the conventional US and elastographic features of a VVM.
