What is the difference between hemangioma and vascular malformation?
Hemangioma and vascular malformation are both diseases that occur in blood vessels, and they are both benign lesions.

Hemangioma is a kind of vascular benign tumor with abnormal development. Its clinical manifestations can be divided into capillary hemangioma mixed hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma and tendinous hemangioma, among which capillary hemangioma is the most common.

Vascular malformation is a congenital vascular malformation, which is common in arterial malformation, venous malformation, arteriovenous malformation and capillary malformation.

The difference between them mainly lies in the following deformities: first, the time of occurrence is different. Hemangiomas usually show symptoms within 2-8 weeks after birth, while vascular malformations generally do not show symptoms at birth but are more obvious after birth 1 month; The second difference is that the growth rates of the two are different. Hemangiomas grow very fast and can be greatly increased in a short time. Vascular malformation will grow slowly and increase with age. Third, the clinical manifestations are different. Hemangioma is a kind of vascular malformation, which mostly shows erythema or abnormality of the skin, while vascular malformation can show obvious murmur, dysplasia and limb swelling.
