Diseases

Vascular Nevus

Vascular nevus. A nevus in which superficial blood vessels are enlarged. Nevi of this type are usually congenital. They are of variable size and shape, slightly elevated, and red or purple in color. They generally appear on the face, head, neck, and arms, though no region is exempt.

SYMPTOMS

Lesions are non-cancerous and appear as blotches of red or purple skin discolouration on any part of the body.

CAUSES

Vascular birthmarks are caused by abnormal growth or formation of blood vessels and vessel cells. There are two main types of vascular birthmarks: hemangiomas (strawberry birthmarks) or vascular malformations. Haemangiomas are caused by overgrowth of the cells providing the lining for vessels in the affected area.
