Abstract
Background Fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) is a rare and recently described complex vascular malformation. The clinical and imaging features and morphology can be confusing and often overlap with features of other vascular malformations and tumors. Objective To present the imaging characterization of FAVA in association with clinical features. Materials and methods We retrospectively evaluated clinical and imaging (MRI, sonography and venography) findings in FAVA. We documented the clinical presentation, lesion morphology, imaging characteristics, tissue distribution, pattern of contrast enhancement and vascular characteristics. Results Thirty-eight people (31 female, 7 male) ages 1-30 years (mean 12 years) were diagnosed with FAVA based on clinical findings combined with imaging or histopathological findings (n=17). Most lesions were in the lower extremity (n=36). Three patterns were noticed: focal, focal infiltrative and diffuse. Conclusion Fibro-adipose vascular anomaly, a rare and complex vascular malformation, has distinct clinical and imaging features that a radiologist should be familiar with to avoid delay in diagnosis and to direct appropriate management.
