Abstract:
Objective:To define a new subtype of vascular anomaly, named fibro-adipose vascular anomaly(FAVA)and to discuss the methods of diagnosis and treatment in order to decrease the misdiagnosis rate and improve the recovery rate.
Methods:From Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2015, 34 cases with FAVA on the lower extremities received surgical treatment in our center. The clinical data were collected to summarize the imaging and pathological characteristics for diagnosis.
Results:The misdiagnosis rate was 76.5%(26/34) in all these 34 patients. The cure rate was 100% after operation. The patients were followed-up for 1-3 years(average, 19 months) with normal function and no recurrence.
Conclusions:FAVA is usually misdiagnosed as hemangioma or vascular malformation. The disease should be well defined to help the diagnosis and treatment. Surgical excision is one of the optional treatments.
