Summary

Congenital vascular malformations of the upper limb can recur, especially diffuse types. Incomplete surgical excision increases recurrence risk in these rare conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Malformations

Background:

  • Congenital vascular malformations (CVMs) are rare, complex conditions affecting limb development.
  • Upper limb CVMs present unique challenges in diagnosis and management.
  • Radical surgical excision is a primary treatment modality for CVMs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of radical surgical excision for congenital vascular malformations of the upper limb.
  • To identify factors influencing recurrence rates after surgical treatment.
  • To classify CVMs based on tissue involvement to guide treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 15 cases of upper limb congenital vascular malformations.
  • Classification of malformations into local and diffuse types based on tissue involvement.
  • Assessment of surgical outcomes, focusing on recurrence after radical excision.

Main Results:

  • Seven out of 15 cases (47%) experienced recurrence of the vascular malformation.
  • Recurrence rates were significantly higher in the diffuse type of malformation compared to the local type.
  • Incomplete surgical excision was associated with a higher likelihood of recurrence.

Conclusions:

  • Radical surgical excision for upper limb CVMs has a notable recurrence rate.
  • The diffuse subtype of CVMs presents a greater surgical challenge and higher recurrence risk.
  • Achieving complete surgical excision is critical in minimizing the risk of recurrence for these malformations.
