Transcription of ISSVA classification for vascular anomalies
1 1 ISSVA classification for vascular anomalies (Approved at the 20th ISSVA Workshop, Melbourne, April 2014, last revision May 2018)This classification is intended to evolve as our understanding of the biology and genetics of vascular malformations and tumors continues to growOverview table defined as two or more vascular malformations found in one lesion* high-flow lesionsA list of causal genes and related vascular anomalies is available inAppendix 2 The tumor or malformation nature or precise classification of some lesions is still unclear.
