Generic term for all mono- or polyorganic, mono- or polytopic vascular malformations(= vascular malformations) as a result of abnormal embryonic tissue development. Always benign course, no signs of atypia or anaplasia. These benign vascular malformations can affect veins, arteries and lymph vessels separately or in combination.

Occurrence/Epidemiology

Epidermiological data are unreliable. Estimates are at incidences of 1.2-1.5% of newborns. The incidence of angiodysplasia decreases from peripheral vessels via central vessels to visceral vessels.

Note(s)

Remember! The term "vascular malformation", increasingly used in the Anglo-American language area, is synonymous with angiodysplasia. Often the malformation is specified by the adjectives "venous, lymphogenic or arterial" malformation.

There are a number of attempts to systematize angiodysplasia, which have not been very satisfactory so far.
