Acquired digital arteriovenous malformation is an abnormal connection between the arteriole and venule in the finger, fed by the digital vessels. Lesions are characterized by small, slightly raised dark-red macules on the distal part of the fingers. In the past, similar cases had been described usin

β¦ Synopsis
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is usually congenital, but an acquired type is also known, of which most are due to a previous injury. We report six patients with acquired digital AVM, all having a small patch of AVM localized to the tip of one finger, and therefore quite different from ordinary AVM which consists of a large pulsatile mass. Histologically, dilated venous and arterial vessels were present in the dermis. Tumour-like growth was absent; thus, these six cases could be differentiated from arteriovenous haemangioma. Because of the characteristic anatomical site, unique clinical manifestations and histology, this appears to be a new and distinctive entity.

Background. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the mandible are relatively rare and potentially life-threatening lesions. Treatment is usually difficult. This study presents a case with high-flow AVM of the mandible in which most of the AVM were occluded by transvenous coil embolization. Methods
Arteriovenous malformations of the head and neck pose a challenging therapeutic and reconstructive problem. In this report we describe a rare case of an arteriovenous malformation of the base of tongue. The patient, a young adult female, was treated with embolization followed by surgical resection u
