Classification of angiodysplasias from 1989, which distinguishes between:

truncular and
extatrunkular angiodysplasias.

The truncal dysplasias affect the differentiated vascular tree. The extratrunkular dysplasias the remaining vascular areas. The extratruncular dysplasias arise from the remnants of the primitive vasculature. Capillary malformations are not included in this classification.
