The purpose is to determine the comprehensive review and the current concepts on the management of vascular malformation and to evaluate the long term outcomes, recurrence and complication rate. This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020173735). The PUBMED, EBSCO, SCOPUS and NDH databases were used to perform a comprehensive search of articles published up until July 2020. The database search identified 1719 articles. After an intricate review, 34 studies were estimated for eligibility. A total of 1719 patients with mean age of 27.48 years were treated for vascular malformation in the oral and maxillofacial region. Moderate heterogeneity was observed for the outcome (P = 0.166; 95% CI:1.01-1.46, I2 = 48%). As determined by one-way ANOVA, there was no statistically significant difference between the type of diagnosis and the recurrence (F = 2.313, p = 0.092) and the complication rate (F = 2.112, p = 0.117). In accordance with the available scientific literature, this review has highlighted the modalities and advancement in the management of vascular malformations. Complications and recurrence were reported in all types of management. It can be avoided by careful diagnosis, pre-operative assessment and treatment planning.
