Vascular anomalies are grouped as vascular malformations, or vascular tumors, such as hemangiomas. Vascular malformations are further classified as high flow masses, representing arteriovenous malformations or arteriovenous fistulae, or low flow lesions, including venous, lymphatic or combined veno-lymphatic tumors.
