Abstract
Fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rarity and overlapping features with other vascular malformations. Predominantly affecting the lower extremities, it manifests with pain and contracture, and surgical resection may be necessary in symptomatic cases. We present a case of a 36-year-old patient with FAVA in the right lower extremity, experiencing persistent symptoms since adolescence. The condition was managed with surgical gastrocnemius resection. Following surgery, the patient underwent a comprehensive rehabilitation program, resulting in significant clinical and functional improvement. This case highlights the importance of tailored interventions in FAVA. The challenges encountered in diagnosing and managing FAVA underscore the necessity for continued research and clinical discourse to improve patient care. Our report emphasizes the significance of collaborative and multidisciplinary care in maximizing functional recovery and quality of life post-gastrocnemius resection, highlighting the importance of optimized rehabilitation programs.
