Y1 - 2020 N1 - T2 - Barnhill's Dermatopathology, 4e AB - The nomenclature of vascular lesions is at best confusing and in some instances is entirely incoherent. Thus, the same terminology may be used to describe unrelated clinical entities, and there are examples of a variety of different terms being applied to a single condition. To illustrate this point, “cavernous hemangioma” has been used to designate both a venous malformation (VM) and a hemangioma of infancy. In fact, the latter 2 entities are characterized by completely different clinical features, natural histories, and managements. Because the pathogenesis of many lesions is still poorly understood, many classifications have been proposed. However, no single classification to date is entirely satisfactory.1-4 SN - PB - McGraw Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/19 UR - dermatology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1178406618 ER -
