Flowchart shows the classification of vascular malformations. First, the presence or absence of blood flow within the lesion determines whether it is solid or cystic. Next, the presence or absence of arterial components within the lesion determine whether it is high-or low-flow. Finally, the presence of a mass distinguishes tumors from malformations. However, some lesions (e.g., complex malformations) are difficult to classify [5]
