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
