"Cavernous hemangioma" Infantile Hemangioma This results in:
• Discrepancies in the nomenclature used by the different physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of the same patient • Misinterpretation of imaging or pathological reports, leading to diagnostic errors • Non-optimal or inadequate treatments The major steps in the nowadays understanding of "vascular anomalies"
1976 : 1st biennal workshop on " vascular anomalies " (VA) John Mulliken, Anthony Young Boston, London, Paris, Milan, … 1982 : 1st histogenetical classification of VA Mulliken et Glowaki Distinction tumors / malformations 1992 : International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) 1996 : adoption of the histogenetical scheme of classification ISSVA Rome 1996
2014 : adoption of a more detailed and updated classification ISSVA Melbourne 2014
ISSVA Classification (Rome 1996)
Classification and terminology of vascular malformations (round table) Rome 25/06/1996 Schobinger R. Enjolras O. Loose D. Mulliken J.B. Vanwijk R. Wassef M.
Vascular tumors and vascular malformations (new issues). Adv Dermatol 1997
due to active proliferation caused by inborn localized errors Combined: made of 2 or more vessel types of endothelial cells in vascular morphogenesis ISSVA Classification (Rome 1996)

• This scheme of classification is simple and proofed useful • Oversimplification of the "Tumors" group hemangioma is intended here as "infantile hemangioma" • The classification of malformations lists vessel types instead of diseases Discussed at the Hamburg Classification 7th international workshop on vascular anomalies of vascular malformations Hamburg 1988
Forms Types Truncular Extratruncular Predominantly arterial Aplasia or obstructive Infiltrating Dilatation Limited Predominantly venous Aplasia or obstructive Infiltrating Dilatation Limited Predominantly lymphatic Aplasia or obstructive Infiltrating Dilatation Limited Predominantly A-V shunting Deep Infiltrating Superficial Limited Combined / mixed Arterial and venous, without A-V shunts Hemolymphatic, with Infiltrating hemolymphatic or without A-V shunt Limited hemolymphatic
"Troncular" Malformations

Courtesy of Dr. JC Lopez Gutierrez Hofer Eur J Dermatol 2005 Courtesy of Dr. JC Lopez Gutierrez What should be a working classification of vascular anomalies
• a hierarchical list of the different existing diseases grouped in a logical manner • using a different name for each different disease. A classification is also a nomenclature • should be based on – Mulliken and Glowaki distinction between T. and M. – The 1996 ISSVA scheme of classification
• should include the "truncal / non truncal" concept • should be understandable and usable by all specialties
