Preliminary communication: imiquimod in mixed capillary/lymphatic malformation.
2008
: The present authors reported a 14-year-old white boy who visited the present authors’ dermatology department in January 2004. Physical examination revealed multiple translucent and hemorrhagic vesicles and skin-colored nodules on the chin. The lesion had grown slowly in size over the previous 7 years. The objective of this study is to estimate the exact mechanism of action of topical imiquimod on mixed capillary/lymphatic malformation. After 4 weeks of therapy the lesions were less protuberant. At the follow-up examination after a further 2 months of therapy, there was partial clinical regression of the capillary component with a return to normal skin color. One month after termination o…
Characteristics of mucocutaneous vascular malformations drawn from a decade of a multidisciplinary committee experience.

Vascular malformations (VM) are congenital, benign, and relatively frequent lesions. Scant data have been published about the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of VM from a dermatologist's perspective. The substantial differences between subtypes, broad range of specialists consulted and confusing nomenclature used over previous years may hamper a correct diagnosis. The main objective of this study is to describe VM epidemiology. As a secondary endpoint we evaluate clinical characteristics, clinical-radiological correlation and treatment approaches. We carried out an observational, descriptive, retrospective study. Cases presented to the multidisciplinary committee of our h…
