Congenital pelvic arteriovenous malformation

Our experience with congenital pelvic arteriovenous malformations is described. Presenting symptoms may be chronic and not always confined to the pelvis. Experience with arteriovenous malformations is limited. Preoperative angiography is essential to delineate the vascular supply to the lesion. Surgery has been successful in cases where complete tumor removal is performed. Careful long term follow-up is required for early detection of recurrence and follow-up angiography is recommended.
