Giant venous malformation of the trunk: Complications and therapeutic difficulty

Abstract

Venous malformations (VMs) are dyssembryogenias of the venous vascular system. Giant VMs are rare but frequently associated with hemostasis disorders of variable severity. Their treatment is long and complex. The combination of several therapeutic modalities can reduce symptoms without eliminating the VM. A multidisciplinary approach is essential. A clinical case illustrates the difficulty of managing these malformations.
