Arteriovenous Malformation Phenotype Resembling Congenital Hemangioma Contains KRAS Mutations
2020
Extracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is most commonly caused by a somatic mutation in MAP2K1. We report two patients with vascular anomalies that had an unclear clinical diagnosis most consistent with either an AVM or congenital hemangioma. Lesions were cutaneous, reddish-purple with telangiectasias, present at birth, and had defined borders. Histopathology indicated AVM and both lesions contained somatic KRAS mutations. A rare AVM phenotype exists that shares clinical features with congenital hemangioma.
