Vascular anomalies, broadly classified as nonmalignant tumors and malformations, consist of a multitude of disorders that have a wide range of symptoms and complications as well as overlapping clinical, radiologic, and histologic findings. Although usually difficult, distinguishing between nonmalignant vascular tumors and malformations, as well as the precise diagnosis within these distinctions, is critical because prognosis, therapy, and chronicity of care vary greatly. In contrast to normal endothelial turnover in vascular malformations, vascular tumors are characterized by the abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells and aberrant blood vessels.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009333	Neck	The part of a human or animal body connecting the HEAD to the rest of the body.	Necks
D006258	Head and Neck Neoplasms	Soft tissue tumors or cancer arising from the mucosal surfaces of the LIP; oral cavity; PHARYNX; LARYNX; and cervical esophagus. Other sites included are the NOSE and PARANASAL SINUSES; SALIVARY GLANDS; THYROID GLAND and PARATHYROID GLANDS; and MELANOMA and non-melanoma skin cancers of the head and neck.

D006391	Hemangioma	A vascular anomaly due to proliferation of BLOOD VESSELS that forms a tumor-like mass. The common types involve CAPILLARIES and VEINS. It can occur anywhere in the body but is most frequently noticed in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE.

D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D042783	Endothelial Cells	Highly specialized EPITHELIAL CELLS that line the HEART; BLOOD VESSELS; and lymph vessels, forming the ENDOTHELIUM. They are polygonal in shape and joined together by TIGHT JUNCTIONS. The tight junctions allow for variable permeability to specific macromolecules that are transported across the endothelial layer.

D054079	Vascular Malformations	A spectrum of congenital, inherited, or acquired abnormalities in BLOOD VESSELS that can adversely affect the normal blood flow in ARTERIES or VEINS. Most are congenital defects such as abnormal communications between blood vessels (fistula), shunting of arterial blood directly into veins bypassing the CAPILLARIES (arteriovenous malformations), formation of large dilated blood blood-filled vessels (cavernous angioma), and swollen capillaries (capillary telangiectases). In rare cases, vascular malformations can result from trauma or diseases.	Malformation, Vascular,Malformations, Vascular,Vascular Malformation
