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.
