Background:
Venous lakes are asymptomatic, cosmetically unacceptable vascular malformations commonly present over the lips. Most of the lesions do not warrant any therapeutic intervention.
Objective:
We herein report a 20-year-old male patient with venous lake who was treated using intralesional radiofrequency (RF) by modified insulated intravenous cannula as an extended probe.
Methods:
An RF ablation was performed under local infiltration anesthesia using intravenous infusion cannula as an extended insulated probe to deliver current.
Results:
The venous lake was obliterated immediately post-procedure with minimal inflammatory change. It showed good cosmetic results with minimal scarring and no recurrence at 18 months of follow-up.
Conclusions:
Intralesional RF using modified insulated probe is a useful alternative treatment and may be considered to treat small venous lakes.
